In Concert With Caminar: Challenging the Stigma
$50.00; 6:30 p.m. Fox Theatre, 2215 Broadway St, Redwood City
Caminar is joining forces with Quincy Jones and Alfredo Rodriguez, a phenomenal Cuban Jazz pianist for a fundraiser and to build awareness about mental illness issues. Quincy Jones will be joining us via video to introduce and speak about Alfredo Rodriguez. Musical genius Quincy Jones recently co-produced Alfredo Rodriguez's album Sounds of Space, a jazz piano album. Quincy decided to co-produce this record because he heard Alfredo perform and he was truly inspired. Quincy said "He is very special, and I do not say that easily because I have been surrounded by the best musicians in the world my entire life and he is one of the best."
