The Redwood Jazz Alliance and the HSU Music Department are proud to present the Dafnis Prieto Quartet on Thurs., Oct. 30 at 8 PM in the Kate Buchanan Room on the HSU campus. Dafnis Prieto moved to the U.S. from Cuba less than a decade ago, but in that short time he's become one of the most influential drummers of his generation. His compositions fuse the folk, classical, and jazz traditions of his native country into a genre-defying idiom marked by contrapuntal melodies over polyrhythmic foundations. It's all held together by what All About Jazz calls Prieto's "awesome virtuosity and astonishing versatility." Tickets are $15 general admission and $10 for students and seniors.
