Overview

Carlos Henriquez was recognized for his talent at just 14 by Wynton Marsalis, who has been a champion ever since.

Along with his work with the Wynton Marsalis Septet, Henriquez – the now-longtime bassist of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra – has performed and recorded with music legends including Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Willie Nelson, Latin music giant Eddie Palmieri, Cuban jazz pianist Chucho Valdés, and many others. Henriquez is also a brilliant composer, whose own music reflects influences from Tito Puente to Dizzy Gillespie, but more than anything, is steeped in the music, heart, and soul of his Puerto Rican heritage. He joins us with his brilliant nonet, rich with brass and winds, for an evening of blow the roof off, irresistibly rhythmic, high-energy Nuyorican jazz!
