Cuba has long shared its great cultural riches with the world, including some of the most incredible pianists on the planet. A fresh, new face has emerged and is making waves with his “flying hands.” Jorge Luis Pacheco has a unique style that presents a new voice in jazz. His untethered creative, emotionally profound and technically virtuous artistry are steeped in an unrelenting love of improvisation, the discipline of a deep classical training and an undeniable poetic and musical soul.

Hailing from Havana, Cuba –this fiery young talent is fast becoming a seasoned veteran, having performed at some of the most respected venues in the world, from Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Pacheco wowed the crowd at New York’s Blue Note Jazz Festival and gained notoriety at the legendary Apollo Theater for the Lifetime Achievement Award ceremonies presented to living legend Herbie Hancock. Whether performing solo piano or with his quartet, Pacheco is staking his claim in the jazz world, having collaborated with Wynton Marsalis and Arturo O’Farrill. This young talent expresses charisma, exciting energy and respect in his ‘live’ performances. Monty Alexander exclaims that Pacheco “defies genre.”Pacheco is a virtuoso pianist, composer, arranger, percussionist and vocalist. His Jazz is a confluence of Cuban jazz, American Jazz, and Classical Music with a measure of contemporary pop to keep things up to date. Pacheco’s original documentary scores are wide ranging, soulful explorations of lyrical, textured,emotional, and sometimes fast moving melodies, chords, and rhythms. A new violin symphony he scored, entitled “Andino”, was inspired by the music of South America. Cab Calloway’s daughter, Cabella Calloway, heard him perform and was so enthralled that she became his producer. Pacheco’s new album “Con El Pache Me Voy” (recorded in Havana, Cuba), became a reality with Calloway’s sponsorship and is scheduled to be released this year.
