Grammy-winning saxophonist and composer Miguel Zenón is widely regarded as one of the most visionary artists of his generation. A MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellow and 2024 Doris Duke Artist, Zenón blends the rich traditions of his Puerto Rican heritage with the language of modern jazz.
Zenón has received 13 Grammy nominations, released seventeen albums as a leader, and won a Grammy for his beautiful duo album El Arte Del Bolero Vol. 2 (2023) with pianist Luís Perdomo, who will be performing at this concert as well.
Zenón has worked with luminaries such as The SFJAZZ Collective, Charlie Haden, Fred Hersch, Kenny Werner, David Sánchez, Danilo Perez, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, Kurt Elling, Joey Calderazzo, Steve Coleman, Ray Barreto, Andy Montañez, Jerry Gonzalez & The Fort Apache Band, The Mingus Big Band and Bobby Hutcherson.
For this performance, Zenón is joined by his long-standing touring/recording ensemble: pianist Luís Perdomo, Hans Glawischnig (bass) and Henry Cole (drums).
