 | |  | | | THANKS | I would like to thanks everyone who wrote me when I injured my Achilles Tendon, all your comments helped me get better. I still have a couple of more months in physical therapy, but I am doing much better, able to walk and work.
I also would like to thanks the people that wrote me about the Legacy Award. I am very honored to have received the award that I dedicated to my family and to have met amazing panamanians scientists and humanists in the process.
Thanks for all !

Al otro lado de la pantalla (gracias, Skype), aparece Danilo Pérez (Pueblo Nuevo, Monte Oscuro, 1965). Sonriente, comunicativo, afable, interrumpe de vez en cuando la conversación para ir presentando a las personas que pasan por su despacho en el Berklee College of Music. El pianista panameño acaba de regresar a los escenarios tras una lesión en el tendón de Aquiles que lo tuvo en reposo casi medio año. Lo hizo en el pasado Detroit Jazz Festival, donde también se anunció que había firmado con la discográfica Mack Avenue, y ahora se prepara para la gira con Wayne Shorter, que le lleva a Europa del 27 de octubre al 14 de noviembre. Barcelona, el día 28, va a ser la única escala española del considerado unánimemente uno de los grupos faro del jazz actual, por no decir de la historia. Antes, el 15 de octubre, recibirá en Washington el Premio Legacy 2009 otorgado por la Smithsonian Institution.
