His alto saxophone, always luminous and effortlessly melodic, floats above the ensemble with the same quiet authority that made him a key vo

Today we celebrate the incomparable Chris Dave, one of the most inventive and influential drummers of his generation.

The Royal Quartet features José Armando Gola (acoustic/electric basses), Roberto Jr. Vizcaino (percussion) and longtime collaborator Horacio ‘El Negro’ Hernández (drums). Sitting at the Steinway, Valdés mixes his original tunes
