Paquito D'Rivera
Legendary Cuban saxophonist, clarinetist and composer Paquito D'Rivera chats with us tonight. Born in 1948, D'Rivera was celebrated as a child prodigy before becoming one of the most sought-after performers and composers of both the jazz and classical worlds. We'll hear his works "Aires Tropicales" and "Dizzyness" performed by the versatile quintet Imani Winds, "Carinhoso" for cello, clarinet, guitar and percussion, and "Milonga par Tre" for bandoneon, violin, piano and saxophone.
Tonight's particularly eclectic program also includes an unexpected solo classical guitar arrangement of the Beatles' "Michelle," a sitar work by Ravi Shankar, Elizabethan lute ballads, as well as pieces by Scarlatti, Holst, and Mendelssohn.
