The
GRAMMY award winning Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra (ALJO), led by pianist,
composer, and director Arturo O’Farrill, brings together the drama of big band
jazz, the culture of Latin music, and the virtuosity of eighteen of the world’s
most accomplished solo musicians. Twelve years of critically acclaimed
performances internationally, have firmly established the ALJO as the standard-bearer
for creative interpretation of Latin jazz greats such as Tito Puente, Frank
“Machito” Grillo, and Chico O’Farrill, as well as the driving force behind new
commissions from Latin music’s most talented composers and arrangers.
