In cooperation with the Zig Zag Jazzclub, Konzerthaus Berlin is delighted to welcome Richard Bona and Alfredo Rodríguez - two giants of the jazz world! Originally from Cameroon, Bona is one of the world's leading electric bassists and has played with some of the biggest names in jazz and fusion, including Pat Metheny and Chick Corea, in a career spanning over 30 years. He received a Grammy in 2002. Trained at the renowned conservatories of Havannah, Rodríguez, who has lived in the USA since 2006, draws on the traditions of his Afro-Cuban roots as well as those of jazz and classical music. Brought together by producer Quincy Jones, the two have enjoyed a long artistic friendship. Their different musical backgrounds merge in concert to create a uniquely melodic, captivating sound.
