Chuchito Valdés is Cuban musical royalty. The descendant of virtuosic Cuban jazz pianists Chucho and Bebo Valdés, Chuchito performed his first professional gig at 16. In the years since, he’s worked extensively both as a member of Cuban Afro-Jazz combo Sonido Contemporaneo and as a solo artist, perfecting a fiery, upbeat and slightly tropical brand of music that’s tailor-made for the dance floor. The Jazz at Five crowd will already be warmed up: 11-piece Kinfolk takes the stage at 5 pm (note: the 4 pm student band set will not take place tonight).
