Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
Carlos Henriquez: Back in the Bronx
Saturday, September 12, 8pm | Lehman Center for the Performing Arts
One of the first truly bilingual musicians, equally virtuosic with the language of jazz and the Afro-Latin tradition, Carlos Henriquez – the Bronx-born, Nuyorican veteran bassist of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra – is a force to be reckoned with. By age 14, Henriquez was performing with Latin jazz greats Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, and Celia Cruz, and as a member of the first ever top-placing Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Festival and Competition jazz band, Henriquez’ roots with Jazz at Lincoln Center run deep. To kick off the new season, the Bronx native brings the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis back to the Bronx with a one-night-only performance at Lehman College, where his compositions and most notable arrangements will be front and center.
WBGO members will receive a 25 percent discount when purchasing tickets for this performance and using code WBGO25.
The Lehman Center for the Performing Arts, located at 250 Bedford Park Boulevard West, Bronx, New York, 10468.
