Grammy Winner, Doris Duke Artist, and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow, saxophonist Miguel Zenón represents a select group of musicians who have masterfully balanced and blended the often-contradictory poles of innovation and tradition. Widely considered one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists and composers of his generation, he has also developed a unique voice as a conceptualist, concentrating his efforts on perfecting a fine mix between jazz and his many musical influences.
Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón has released 17 recordings as a leader, including his latest, the Grammy-nominated Golden City (2024) and the Grammy-winning album El Arte Del Bolero Vol. 2 (2023). He has worked with luminaries such as Charlie Haden, David Sánchez, Ray Barreto, The Mingus Big Band, and Bobby Hutcherson, among many others.
