Trumpeter Michael Rodriguez, known for his work with Quincy Jones, Chick Corea, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, ranks among the most versatile and in-demand voices in jazz today. Joining him is Adam Cruz, one of the most creative drummers of his generation, celebrated for his collaborations with Danilo Pérez, Tom Harrell, and Chris Potter.
