Pianist and drummer, Julius Rodriguez will lead his acclaimed Quintet of young Jazz stalwarts through an engaging set of standards and originals LIVE from the Jazz Forum, Tarrytown. Originally from White Plains, 22-year-old Rodriguez has attended Juilliard in New York City and has performed with Wynton Marsalis, Jazzmeia Horn and Carmen Lundy among many others. His much-heralded Quintet has performed five sold-out weekends in the first three years of Jazz Forum presentations. Get tickets here.
