The 2024 Grammy® for Best Latin Jazz Album went to Miguel Zenón and Luis Perdomo for El Arte Del Bolero Vol. 2. and now you can hear them live on our stage! This groundbreaking duo, renowned for their innovative contributions to contemporary jazz, will take the stage to explore the rich tapestry of Latin American music, blending intricate rhythms and melodies with the soulful depth of modern jazz improvisation.

“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.
