Playboy Jazz Festival
Talented young artists have always had a special place in Quincy’s heart. Whether it was a teenage Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson or Whitney Houston, that performer’s emergence has been marked by an extraordinary journey. Quincy has discovered a new artist who has the “potential to be one of the most prolific jazz pianists of the 21st century”, and his name is Alfredo Rodriguez.
Quincy first met Alfredo several years ago at the Montruex Jazz Festival where Alfredo was performing as a visiting musician from Cuba. Quincy recalls how he “was truly mesmerized by his deft talent, and knew immediately that [he] wanted to work with him.” But Alfredo’s status as a Cuban national made the prospects for a collaboration less than slim to none. Quincy, being a lifelong optimist, kept in touch and exchanged e-mails. Through a tumultuous journey, Alfredo’s courage and the goodwill of many friends along the way, Alfredo miraculously arrived in Los Angeles last month to pursue his dreams. Quincy hopes to share Alfredo Rodriguez with the world. Today, Quincy introduced Alfredo at the Playboy Jazz Festival Press Conference for his upcoming performance at the Playboy Jazz Festival, which will be taking place on Sunday, June 14th at the Hollywood Bowl.

Very talented pianist.
