Presents...Pedrito Martinez & Friendsfeaturing JOSE MIRANDA: Jazz Musician in New York

About Presents...Pedrito Martinez & Friendsfeaturing JOSE MIRANDA

Presents...Pedrito Martinez & Friends featuring Jose Miranda is a New York–based performance lineup centered on Havana-born percussionist and singer Pedrito Martinez, with Miranda appearing as a featured collaborator. Martinez has lived in the city since the late 1990s and has contributed to more than 100 recordings, alongside high-profile projects with artists including Wynton Marsalis, Bruce Springsteen, and Sting. Their sets at The Bitter End draw on Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz languages—timba, son, and rhythmic call-and-response—adapted to a tight club stage. The approach favors groove and ensemble interplay over spectacle.
