Chucho Valdes Quartet

Experience the brilliance of one of the world's greatest living jazz pianists as Chucho Valdés brings his acclaimed Quartet to the stage for an extraordinary run of performances. A multiple Grammy Award-winning maestro and the undisputed patriarch of Afro-Cuban jazz, Valdés weaves together intricate rhythms, soulful improvisation, and decades of musical mastery into performances that are nothing short of transcendent. Each night is a singular journey through the rich landscape of Latin jazz, Afro-Cuban tradition, and bebop virtuosity. The SFJAZZ Center's intimate Miner Auditorium in San Francisco provides the perfect setting for this landmark residency. With shows on June 12, 13, 14, and 15, 2026 — several rescheduled from earlier dates — audiences have multiple chances to witness Valdés and his tight-knit quartet in one of America's premier jazz venues. The ensemble's chemistry is palpable, with every performance unfolding as a spontaneous conversation between world-class musicians pushing each other to new heights. A fifth date at Austin's iconic Paramount Theatre on May 17 extends the tour's reach to Texas. Whether you're a lifelong jazz devotee or simply a lover of extraordinary live music, an evening with the Chucho Valdés Quartet is an unforgettable cultural experience. Expect soaring piano runs, thunderous percussion, and moments of breathtaking quiet that remind you why live jazz remains one of humanity's most powerful art forms.
