About Jazz at Lincoln Center
Jazz at Lincoln Center is a performing arts center and educational institution. It grew out of a summer concert series at Lincoln Center in 1987, and became an official part of Lincoln Center in 1991. Jazz at Lincoln Center opened in Time Warner Center in 2004.
Wynton Marsalis
Wynton Marsalis built the world’s leading jazz institution through his musicianship, determination and ability to tell the story of Jazz. His appearances on PBS made Marsalis the world’s leading jazz spokesperson.
Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra
The house band is the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. Every member is an All-Star.
Carlos Henriquez
For his own bands and the orchestra, Marsalis chose Carlos Henriquez as his bass player. The Puerto Rican New Yorker from The Bronx was a protégé of Tito Puente and played with many salsa legends.
Henriquez is “New York City’s most important Latin jazz musician” (New York Latin Culture Magazine) because like his mentor, Carlos is completely fluid in both straight-ahead jazz and clave-based Latin jazz. Henriquez is a bridge. Strange, “puente” means bridge in Spanish.
It’s not literally a Latin orchestra, but as far as we are concerned, every Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra concert is a Latin jazz concert because of Henriquez. Wynton was clever to put a Latin in the bass, the bridge between the rhythm and melody sections. He keeps the Caribbean in the music.
Enjoying a Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra concert is a bucket list item for your New York life. They make Time Warner Center swing. If you ever notice the Center’s twin towers swaying back and forth, it’s because the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is in the house.
