Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra to open season in the Bronx

Wynton Marsalis' Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is opening its new season away from home, but for Bronx-born Nuyorican bassist Carlos Henriquez it will be a homecoming. Saturday night's concert at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts in the Bronx marks the first time JALC is not starting the season at its own space since Rose Hall opened in 2004 in the Time Warner Center in midtown Manhattan. JALC's main concert halls are closed until December while its public spaces are being redesigned. "I love being in the community because one of the first goals that we had when we started Jazz at Lincoln Center was always to get out in the boroughs," said Marsalis. At the concert, "Carlos Henriquez: Back in the Bronx," the 36-year-old bassist will premiere big band arrangements of compositions combining the jazz and Afro-Latin musical traditions featured on his debut album as a leader, "The Bronx Pyramid."
