In the organizer's words:
Latin jazz party for International Jazzday 2025
Alfredo Hechavarria (Cuba) - guitar
Clarissa Ruddock - vocals
Claus Mager - percussion
"CubanXCrossover"
After the great success of his debut CD "Corazón del Sur" with over 100,000 streams worldwide and world tours (including Radio City Music Hall/ New York, Hollywood Bowl L.A., Olympia/Paris with the guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela / Grammy winner 2020), the Cuban world musician is now devoting himself to the traditional music of his homeland. He interprets their classics, some of which were made famous by the Buena Vista Social Cub, individually and experimentally as "CubanXCrossover".
He combines Latin, jazz, classical and pop with virtuosity, ease and rhythm. His emotional original compositions give the listener goose bumps. Alfredo Hechavarria is the 2021 winner of the Hessen Cultural Foundation Scholarship.
The Argentinian jazz singer Clarissa interprets the vocal tracks on the new CD with a lot of fire and a convincing performance. The daughter of an Argentinian jazz pianist, she has been on stage since the age of twelve and has performed with many well-known musicians around the world. www.clarissa-live.jimdo.com
On this evening, percussion in all its many facets is in the hands of Claus Mager. He began his love affair with drums and percussion at the age of 9. In New York, he studied with the famous Drummer Collective. His teachers and friends Freddie Santiago, Frank Valdez and Giovanni Hidalgo taught him the art of percussion. His countless trips to the Caribbean infected him with the salsa virus! Mager offered workshops in which he not only taught technical skills, but also emphasized the importance of improvisation and personal style.
