NEW DIMENSIONS in LATIN JAZZ
presents U.S. DEBUT of CUBAN DRUMMER
CALIXTO OVIEDO: CALIXTO 'S WAY
at JAZZ STANDARD NYC / TUESDAY JULY 9th 2013
The Jazz Standard series "New Dimensions in Latin Jazz" presents the first installment of a Cuban drum festival with the US/NYC debut of the legendary Cuban master drummer Calixto Oviedo and his all-Cuban jazz quintet, Calixto's Way.
"One of the most important representitives of Latin jazz in the world of drumming, creator of a new Cuban sound... Calixto Oviedo is the Elvin Jones of Cuba."
- All About Jazz, Italia
Calixto Oviedo is a living encyclopedia of Cuban drumming and percussion, from the profound roots of African-influenced folklore to the hottest dance music and the cutting edge of jazz. One of the creators of the dynamic timba rhythm when he was the drummer for the iconic Havana group NG la Banda, Oviedo's innovative and brilliant percussive techniques have made him the in-demand drummer for The Afro Cuban All Stars, Buena Vista Social Club, and Arturo Sandoval. His current project, an all-Cuban jazz quintet, is named for his critically-acclaimed album, ” Calixto's Way”.
