Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez Centennial Celebration Tickets

Be there as Jazz at Lincoln Center honors the centennials of two greats: 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. These 1923 babies revolutionized the Latin dance scene of the 1950s and 1960s and changed the course of jazz. 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.
