Her exploration of Afro-Cuban melodies expresses the universality of music and her ability to embrace and showcase the rhythms and culture of Cuba has been groundbreaking. Havana native Hilario Duran is well known as one of the great Cuban pianists. In the 1980s he joined Arturo Sandoval's band as composer, arranger, producer and pianist; it was a collaboration that saw him often sharing stages with musicians such as Dizzy Gillespie and Michel Legrand. Duran toured throughout Latin American and Europe with his own group, Perspectiva, for several years, a period during which he also played piano on Jane Bunnett's Juno Award-winning spirits of Havana recording. Born in Havana, Cuba, in 1921, NEA Jazz Master Candido Camero first began making music as a young child, beating rhythms on empty condensed milk cans in place of bongos. He worked for six years with the CMQ Radio Orchestra and at the famed Cabaret Tropicana. He came to the United States in 1946 with the dance team Carmen and Rolando, and very soon after was playing with Billy Taylor. There is a $20-$25 cover.

In 1978, she was booked into the Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle hotel for a two week engagement - and stayed for twenty five years. It was at the Carlyle that she began to feature her singing as an integral part of her performances. Following her 25 years at the Carlyle, she is well into another long run in the famous Oak Room at New York's Algonquin Hotel, making a significant and successful effort to incorporate jazz playing into a cabaret venue. Other recent engagements have included concerts at Philharmonic Hall in Naples, Florida, the Colony Hotel in Palm Beach, concerts at the Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts as well as twelve sold out performances at Dizzy's Club, at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
