 photo © ben long | dafnis prieto The dynamic Dafnis Prieto has performed with some of the world's great jazz artists (Steve Coleman and Five Elements; Henry Threadgill's Zooid and Make a Move; Eddie Palmieri Afro-Caribbean Jazz Orchestra; Michel Camilo Trio; Don Byron) as well as leading his own groups. "There is, however, a small tradition of Cuban drummers who hit New York like asteroids -- powerhouses who are expert writers and readers of music, who can teach it and who spur on everyone around them. Dafnis Prieto, from Santa Clara, Cuba, is the newest one." Ben Ratliff, The New York Times | |
