Carlos Henriquez Nonet: Dizzy Con Clave & The South Bronx Story - Live from Jazz St. Louis

Born in South Bronx, New York in 1979, bassist Carlos Henriquez is set to thrill Jazz St. Louis audiences with his captivating style! He studied music at a young age, played guitar through junior high school, and took up the bass while enrolled in the Juilliard School’s Music Advancement program.
He entered Laguardia High School of Music & Arts and Performing Arts and was involved with the Laguardia Concert Jazz Ensemble, which went on to win first place in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Essentially Ellington high school jazz band competition and festival in 1996. In 1998, swiftly after high school, Henriquez joined the Wynton Marsalis Septet and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, touring the world and featuring on more than 25 albums.
Henriquez has performed and recorded with artists including Chucho Valdes, Paco de Lucia, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Danilo Perez, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Marc Anthony, and many others. He has been a member of the music faculty at Northwestern University School of Music since 2008 and was music director of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra’s cultural exchange with the Cuban Institute of Music with Chucho Valdes in 2010. Since then, Carlos has lead many Jazz at Lincoln Center concerts as a featured artist and has brought a new sound to the organization with his duo musical visions. His collaboration with the great Ruben Blades gave Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra a huge new outlook to playing salsa/latin jazz. Henriquez is no stranger to the musical afro dialect in jazz and latin styles. He continues to flourish as a great bassist with three great projects as a leader. The Bronx Pyramid, Dizzy Con Clave, and the latest the South Bronx Story, which is a bold multi-movement work of the social history of the South Bronx, draws from Henriquez’s personal Puerto Rican heritage.

[@blacjazzz]

Nice! Although on Manteca I was expecting more punch from the horns. Mix was clean though. Sis on the congas was churning… some real tasty patterns going on underneath. Seriously brining that work!
