Arturo’s professional career began with the Carla Bley Band and continued as a solo performer with a wide spectrum of artists including Dizzy Gillespie\, Lester Bowie\, Wynton Marsalis\, and Harry Belafonte. \nIn 2007\, he founded the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the performance\, education\, and preservation of Afro Latin music.

His powerful “Three Revolutions” from the album Familia-Tribute to Chico and Bebo was the 2018 Grammy Award (his sixth) winner for Best Instrumental Composition. Arturo’s album “Four Questions” (ZOHO) is the first to embody all original compositions\, including the title track\, which features the brilliant orator Dr. Cornel West. This album won a Grammy in 2021. Most recently\, in February of 2023\, Arturo was awarded his eighth Grammy for the album “Fandango at the Wall in New York.” \nArturo is Professor of Global Jazz Studies and Assistant Dean for Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion at University of California\, Los Angeles (UCLA)\, has been honored as a Steinway Artist for many years\, and is a Blue Note Records Recording Artist. \n  \n  \nThe JAZZ ROOM provides a casual and intimate setting with tables and a full bar\, reminiscent of the classic jazz rooms of yesteryear. \nThank you to our JAZZ ROOM contributors: The City of Charlotte\, O’s Place Jazz\, North Carolina Arts Council and Akers Foundation.
