Review of Alfredo @ Monterey Jazz Festival

21 September, 2009

“Young Cuban pianist Rodriguez, playing on the Garden Stage in late afternoon, served notice that he is an emerging rising star worthy of note.

His expressive face mirroring his moves on the piano, alternately grimacing, laughing, eyes closed, talking to himself, Rodriguez enthralled a capacity crowd with his prodigious talent.

And for a player with a reputation as a frenetic performer Rodriguez displayed a often-delicate touch, especially on a gorgeous version of the jazz classic “Body & Soul.”
