Musicians

Manuel Valera -

"“Valera’s keyboard work…can dazzle with its virtuosity. But his surprising subtly and grace is most impressive.” – Downbeat Magazine

“[Valera] lives up to all the buzz about the rad chops flaunted by many of New York’s young Caribbean jazzers.” – Village Voice

Vientos by Manuel Valera (piano and Fender Rhodes) features Joel Frahm (tenor and soprano saxophones), James Genus (bass), Ernesto Simpson (drums) and woodwind quintet in a program of jazz, Latin, and classical originals. The performances bristle, underscoring Village Voice’s proclamation that: “[Valera] lives up to all the buzz about the rad chops flaunted by many of New York’s young Caribbean jazzers.”
