Chico's House of Jazz presents a night with Dave Valentin on August 28th, 2010
August 28th, 2010 (ASBURY PARK, NJ)—Chico's House of Jazz is pleased to host Mindi Abair in our Smooth Stars Concert Series. There will be two shows on August 28th at 8:00 pm and 10pm. Tickets are available now by logging on to ChicosHouseofJazz.com or at our box office at the club. Tickets are $25 and going fast.
Grammy award winner Dave Valentin, who has recorded 25 albums, 15 albums for GRP, combines together the influence of pop, R&B, and Brazilian music with Latin jazz to create a slick and accessible form of crossover jazz. At age nine, Valentin enjoyed playing bongos and congas. He gigged at Latin clubs in New York from age 12 and it was not until he was 18 that he seriously started studying flute. Valentin's teacher, Hubert Laws, suggested that he not double on saxophone because of his attractive sound on the flute. In 1977, he made his recording debut with Ricardo Marrero's group and he was also on a Noel Pointer album. Discovered by Dave Grusin and Larry Rosen, Valentin was the first artist signed to GRP and he has been a popular attraction ever since. Since the mid-2000's, Valentin has been signed to Highnote Records releasing World On A String in 2005 and Come Fly With Me in 2006.
