Diego Rivera, the saxophonist, expands the diaspora of jazz through his musical celebration of the multicultural traditions and observances of Día de los Muertos with his creation of the "Ofrenda." This thoughtful program of new compositions, enhanced by the inclusion of special guest trumpet virtuoso Terell Stafford, showcases Rivera's passionate and joyful saxophone playing. The session is further enriched by the solid groove and harmonic synergy provided by the all-star rhythm section of pianist Art Hirahara, bassist Boris Kozlov, and drummer Rudy Royston. Rivera's deep emotional connection to this musical offering elevates his role as a cultural communicator and melodic expressionist. The performances within "Ofrenda" are sure to captivate jazz enthusiasts, encouraging them to explore the magic and mysteries of this musical journey with amazement and delight.
