For ticketing, visit Little Johnny Rivero on the Morris Museum Back Deck.

Little Johnny Rivero brings an explosive, heart‑deep celebration of our jazz and Latin jazz legends to the Back Deck — a night where history, rhythm, and pure joy meet under the summer sky. As the longtime conguero for Eddie Palmieri and a master of Afro‑Caribbean tradition, Rivero leads an all‑star ensemble that honors the giants who shaped the music: the innovators, the groove‑makers, the cultural architects. Outdoors, his sound becomes even more alive — congas cracking through the twilight, horns lifting into the breeze, and the band channeling the spirit of the masters with fire, respect, and irresistible swing.
