Lincoln Center’s Home for Jazz

Jazz at Lincoln Center is a performing arts center and educational institution that grew out of a summer concert series in 1987. It became an official part of Lincoln Center in 1991, and opened in Time Warner Center in 2004.

Enjoying a Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra concert is a bucket list item for your New York life. They make Time Warner Center swing. If you ever notice the Center’s twin towers swaying back and forth, it’s because the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is in the house.

The Venue

The Rose Theater is a 1,233-seat jazz concert hall.

The Appel Room is a 427-seat amphitheater with Central Park views.

Dizzy’s Club is a jazz supper club that swings nightly with Central Park views.

The Holidays

Wynton Marsalis

Wynton Marsalis built the world’s leading African American jazz institution through his musicianship, determination, and ability to tell jazz stories. His appearances on PBS made Marsalis a jazz spokesperson.

Carlos Henriquez

The Puerto Rican New Yorker from The Bronx played with many salsa legends, and was mentored by Tito Puente. Wynton Marsalis chose Carlos Henriquez as his bass player for his own bands and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

Henriquez is “one of New York City’s most important Latin jazz musicians” (New York Latin Culture Magazine), because like his mentor Tito Puente, Carlos is completely fluid in both straight-ahead jazz and clave-based Latin jazz.
