Argentinian expatriate JP Jofre, highlighted several times by the New York Times, and praised by Lincoln Center, who called him "one of today’s leading artists,” has seen his reputation grow by leaps and bounds. Starting with his quintet’s debut performance at Joe’s Pub in 2008, JP has been invited to appear at many of the most prestigious concert series in the United States and abroad. In recent years, his quintet has appeared at Great Performers at Lincoln Center, Celebrities Series of Boston, Seattle Town Hall among many others. Recently, the band has welcomed four outstanding performers to its ranks.
