The multi-Grammy Award-winning pianist dazzles as he honours Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker with his big band, continuing his father Chico O’Farrill’s legacy of composing and arranging for these jazz icons.
Arturo O’Farrill, pianist, composer, and educator, was born in Mexico and grew up in New York City. His professional career began with the Carla Bley Band and continued as a solo performer with a wide spectrum of artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Bowie, Wynton Marsalis, and Harry Belafonte. His powerful “Three Revolutions” from the album Familia: Tribute to Bebo & Chico won the 2018 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition. Most recently, in February of 2023, Arturo was awarded his eighth Grammy for the album Fandango at the Wall in New York.
After the concert, enjoy a beverage and more music at the Postlude Performance in the Leslie and Anna Dan Galleria.
