Jim Carroll, artistic director
Multi-Grammy Award winner and critically acclaimed musician Paquito D’Rivera joins audience favorite Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra for an evening of sizzling Latin jazz. Born in Cuba, D’Rivera is “a marvelous soloist in Latin—and mainstream—jazz contexts” (Jazz Magazine), with rich skills on clarinet, saxophone, and in composition, all rooted in a background of classical and traditional Cuban music. With more than 30 solo albums, a National Medal of the Arts, and National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award, D’Rivera is celebrated both for his artistry in Latin jazz and his achievements as a classical composer. Founder, artistic director, and virtuoso saxophonist Jim Carroll leads the orchestra, comprising some of the area’s finest musicians.
This performance is appropriate for all ages.
