Paquito D’Rivera Quintet • Celebrating Jazz Forum’s 9th Anniversary!

There’s no better way to celebrate our 9th Anniversary than with an old friend, NEA Jazz Master Paquito D’Rivera and you’re invited! The great saxophonist/clarinetist debuted at the original Jazz Forum in NYC 45 years ago and performed regularly at all the Jazz Forums ever since.

He’s also made numerous recordings produced by Jazz Forum founder Mark Morganelli. Paquito helped form the legendary Afro-Cuban jazz fusion group Irakere and Dizzy Gillespie’s United Nation Orchestra, has been featured on over 80 albums and has won 16 Grammys.
