Alfredo Rodrguez’s fourth studio album was recorded in just two days, with a majority of the songs being done impressively in one take. Over the past decade he has gone from a young local Cuban artist to a globally recognized Grammy-nominee. As jazz music sees a resurgence in younger audiences, Rodrguez is leading the way for the new wave of Cuban musicians.

Rodrguez states ‘The Little Dream is my response to our current world climate. The title comes from my fascination with the dream world, which is a beautiful manifestation of our reality. My greatest dream is one where all humans live happily and in peace. Children are the hope and the answer to creating a world of love, peace, unity and understanding.’

Two musicians who join Rodrguez on ‘The Little Dream’ and helped shape the album’s sound are Michael Olivera and Munir Hossn. ‘I’ve been touring and playing with Michael and Munir for the last several years, so The Little Dream is a testimony to the sound we have developed.’

Quincy Jones continues to serve as producer, and Rodrguez never stops learning from his teacher. ‘Quincy always impresses me, and for a young musician, it’s such an incredible opportunity to get to be around a legend. Quincy has affected my life in so many positive ways; he is my mentor, and the most open-minded musician I know. His influence has made me a better person as well as a better musician.’
