About Me
“Combining a consistently gentle touch with animated right-hand melodic work and a clever harmonic sense,
Rodriguez is also a remarkable composer whose works are often reminiscent of Bill Evan’s understated grace.

the end product is an intriguing trio sound that is, largely, unlike anything on the scene.”
Downbeat Magazine/Will Smith
