KEITH VALLES
Son of The Maharaja of Jazz Radio, China Valles, Keith Valles took good notes to continue his father’s legacy of promoting jazz music in South Florida. “Duke Ellington nicknamed Charles China Valles “The Maharaja,” a Sanskrit word denoting greatness and royalty. For 89 years, 50 spent in Miami, China Valles was a tremendous force of good in music,” according to Miami New Times reporter Jacob Katel.
