From an early age, Alfredo Rodríguez’s life revolved around music. Born in Havana, Cuba in 1985, and the son of a singer with the same name, music was in his blood. By the time he was 10, piano was his life. At 14, he was Havana’s Manuel Samuel Elementary Classical Music Conservatory’s prize pianist and the student chosen to play at graduation. Rodriguez’ first exposure to the international jazz scene was at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland where he caught the eye of producer, Qunicy Jones, who has since played a significant role in Rodriguez’ career.
