“I thought this was a beautiful, beautiful record. I kept putting it on and not wanting to take it off.” – Stephen Thompson, NPR New Music Friday
“In an extraordinary follow-up to El Arte del Bolero, Vol. 1, these timeless tunes are slowed down, blended with unusual elements, played out of time, deconstructed and reconstructed as Zenón and Perdomo extract nuances from the originals that we hardly imagined could exist.” – Catalina Maria Johnson, DownBeat
Zenón, a multiple Grammy Nominee and esteemed Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow, stands among a select group of musicians who seamlessly balance innovation and tradition. Widely regarded as one of the most groundbreaking saxophonists and composers of his generation, Zenón’s conceptual prowess creates a captivating blend of jazz and diverse musical influences.
Perdomo, also a prestigious 2024 Doris Duke Artist Awardee, has emerged as one of the most sought-after sidemen since his arrival in New York from Venezuela in 1993. His illustrious career spans collaborations with jazz and Latin luminaries, including Ravi Coltrane and Ray Barretto, as well as six critically acclaimed recordings as a leader. Don’t miss their electrifying performance as they bring their unmatched talents to our stage for an unforgettable evening of music.
