Arranger-bandleader Arturo 'Chico' O'Farrill, Sr. began introducing Afro-Cuban rhythms into jazz in the 1940's. The band that bears Chico's name (and is directed by his son Arturo) "continues to showcase the most seamless blend of clave rhythm and bebop harmony anywhere." (Time Out)
In 1995 Mr. O'Farrill agreed to direct the band that preserved much of his father�s music, Chico O'Farrill's Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra , which has been in residence at Birdland for the past 13 years, as well as performing throughout the world as a solo artist and with his smaller groups. If you have yet experience the force of this legendary jazz big-band, the time is now. BUY TICKETS NOW |
