Great Cuban pianist and composer Chucho Valdés presents La Creación (The Creation) for Afro-Cuban band, percussion and vocals. The four-movement suite explores the story of creation according to the Afro-Cuban Santería religion and includes elements of African music, the blues and what Valdés describes as “an atmosphere in the style of Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew.” This is an SCP Jazz Co-commission.
