Dafnis Prieto Sextet (Cuba/USA)

BRAY JAZZ: His arrival in the U.S. has been compared to that of an asteroid hitting New York. Indeed, in the relatively short period of time Dafnis Prieto’s revolutionary drumming techniques have had an astronomical impact on both the Latin and jazz music scene, locally and internationally. His music underlines his penchant for beautiful counterpoint melodies over a multitude of polyrhythyms. The compositions performed by the sextet are highly distinctive, and full of contrast and energy.
