Description:

Long before he became the bassist with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, a teen-aged Carlos Henriquez was in the great Latin jazz bands of Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri. The Bronx native will use that experience to lead his JLCO bandmates down a musical road paved by Cuban bassist Israel Cachao Lopez, a key figure who helped invent the mambo and popularize the styles known as danzon and descarga.
