Six-time Grammy Award-winner Arturo O’Farrill and his 18-piece band will electrify the Phoenix Concert Hall with their groovin’ Afro-Cuban jazz. Son of beloved Latin jazz musician Chico O’Farrill, Arturo is a legend-in-the-making. Pianist, composer, and educator, best known for his contributions to contemporary Latin jazz and his lively performances with his Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, he delights audiences around the world. Arturo and his Orchestra are also a mainstay at Manhattan’s Birdland, one of the most popular jazz venues in the US.
Fresh from O’Farrill’s 2018 Grammy win for Best Instrumental Composition for “Three Revolutions,” he will recreate the Birdland vibe at the Phoenix, for one night only. The 18-piece Orchestra, with O’Farrill on the keys, is sure to make you move and guarantees a great night out.
