Through projects like A Lesson in Spirituals with the Magnolia Singers\, she continues to honor and uplift the voices of the past while engaging audiences of all ages today. \nIn recognition of her extraordinary contributions to the Lowcountry’s musical legacy\, Ann Caldwell was inducted into the Lowcountry Music Hall of Fame in 2018\, alongside legends such as Jack McCray (co-founder of Charleston Jazz) and James Jamerson\, one of the greatest and most influential bass players in modern music history.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_separator css=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1770993218442{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]About The Establishment \nEverything at The Establishment begins with fresh\, sustainably sourced seafood.

At a tender age\, he faced discouragement from his first teacher\, who dismissed him as devoid of talent. Undeterred\, Rodriguez’s love for the piano persisted\, even in the absence of an instrument at home. He resorted to painting piano keys on his parents’ dinner table to practice his scales—a testament to his determination and resourcefulness. \nEventually\, Alfredo was invited to represent Cuba at the Montreux Jazz Festival\, where he impressed Quincy Jones. Jones saw the immense talent in Rodriguez and extended an invitation to work together in the U.S. However\, pursuing this opportunity meant leaving his family behind and embarking on a journey that would require relinquishing his Cuban citizenship. \nSince then\, Rodriguez has achieved remarkable milestones. He has graced prestigious stages worldwide and earned a Grammy® nomination for his track “Guantanamera” from the album The Invasion Parade. Additionally\, he became the first non-Chinese artist to collaborate on the English version of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo theme song\, working alongside esteemed musicians such as Tan Dun\, Siedah Garrett\, and Quincy Jones. \nBeyond his accomplishments\, Rodriguez’s ability to “play stories” on the keys allows him to connect with his listeners on a deeply personal level. His albums\, including The Invasion Parade\, Tocororo\, and Duologue\, reflect his memories of Cuba\, his experiences as an immigrant\, and his journey of self-discovery through music. He’s been featured by All Things Considered\, Downbeat\, The New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, and Wall Street Journal among many others\, and performed for NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert. \nRodriguez continues to share his music along with his impactful message of perseverance and cross culturalization on an international tour\, while sharing a variety of viral social media videos in which he plays well-known compositions in a Cuban timba style.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rC6rPhL2Kpo”][vc_empty_space height=”24px”][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” active_section=”1″][vc_tta_section title=”The Experience” tab_id=”1687923810144-42574a89-d6c9″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1764011963081{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]We’re excited to welcome you to the 2026 Charleston Jazz Festival\, now expanded to an incredible 9 days of jazz events.
