Aruán Ortiz, whom Downbeat Magazine has called "one of the most versatile and exciting pianists of his generation,” hails from Santiago de Cuba.

His compositions incorporate influences from classical music, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and improvisation. Garnering Latin Jazz Corner’s 2011 "Arranger of the Year, " he has received commissions from university orchestras, dance companies, and chamber groups including the Santiarican Blues Suite (Sunnyside, 2011), fusing Haitian and Cuban music, for Boston-based Jose Mateo Ballet Theater. He has worked with Esperanza Spalding, Andrew Cyrille, Terri Lyne Carrington, Cindy Blackman-Santana, Greg Osby, and Wallace Roney, among others. His live recording with the Aruán Oritiz and Michael Janisch Quintet, Banned in London (Whirlwind Recordings, 2012), was recently selected by Downbeat Magazine as one of the best albums of 2013. He also curates the ongoing Music & Architecture monthly concert series, which have featured Don Byron, Oliver Lake and Henry Grimes, among many others. He is one of the recipient of the prestigious Doris Duke Impact Award 2014.
