ABOUT THE CONCERT
Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez Centennial Celebration is Jazz at Lincoln Center’s centennial tribute to the iconic timbalero-vibraphonist and gregarious Nuyorican bandleader Tito Puente, a pioneering figure in Latin Jazz, and his sometimes rival, San Juan-born vocalist-timbalero-bandleader Tito Rodriguez, 1923 babies who revolutionized the Latin dance scene of the 1950s and 1960s. No musician is more qualified to re-interpret their music than Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra bassist-composer-arranger Carlos Henriquez, who assembles an all-star band for the occasion.
Tickets: $40.50-$170.50
