In his early 80s, Cuban-born pianist Chucho Valdés continues to excite audiences with electrifying performances of music that draws from his deep well of jazz, blues, funk, Latin, classical and African influences. The title of Valdés’ new album, Cuba & Beyond, reflects the scope of his sound and ambition, and pays tribute to musicians and composers he reveres, including Chick Corea and Mozart. Named a 2025 NEA Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts, Valdés recorded Cuba & Beyond with his Royal Quartet, which also includes Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez on drums, José Armando Gola on bass and Roberto Jr. Vizcaino on percussion.
