Paquito D’Rivera and the New Jersey Symphony bring ‘that swing’ in Latin American rhythmic performance

Nov 12, 2024

Latin American music legend Paquito D’Rivera and his quintet joined guest conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto and the New Jersey Symphony at NJPAC in Newark and the Mayo Performing Arts Center in Morristown for a program that featured a mixture of classical and Latin American favorites. James C. Taylor of NJ Advance Media reviewed the performance at NJPAC.
