Originally from Venezuela, vibraphonist Juan Diego Villalobos moved to New York in 2018 to study at the Manhattan School of Music. Since then, Villalobos has found a musical home at The Jazz Gallery, where he has presented music both as a leader, and as a member of the collaborative Caracas Trio alongside fellow Venezuelans Daniel Prim and Gabriel Chakarji.

This week, to help kick off our summer season, Villalobos returns to the Gallery with a new quartet featuring pianist Gadi Lehavi, bassist Harish Raghavan, and drummer Mark Whitfield Jr. Before coming out to hear this new lineup, take a listen to one of Villalobos’s Untitled compositions, performed at his last Gallery appearance.
