Venezuelan Percussionist Luisito Quintero brings technical mastery and high vibrating musicality to each performance. The world-renowned timbalero constantly elevates and refines his personal expression, inviting a variety of percussion instruments to his sets. He has worked with such legendary figures as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Diana Krall, and Tito Puente. At Dizzy's Club, he intercuts Afro-Venezuelan rhythms with New York sounds alongside a tight ensemble that includes Ricky Rodriguez, Felipe Fournier, Yusnier Sanchez, Alex Pastrana, and Chris Ferrari.
