Born in Cuba, D’Rivera is “a marvelous soloist in Latin—and mainstream—jazz contexts” (JazzTimes), with rich skills on clarinet, saxophone, and in composition, all rooted in a background of classical and traditional Cuban music. With more than 30 solo albums, a National Medal of the Arts, and National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Award, D’Rivera is celebrated both for his artistry in Latin jazz and his achievements as a classical composer. Founder, artistic director, and virtuoso saxophonist Jim Carroll leads the orchestra, comprising some of the area’s finest musicians.
