About Arnhold Innovation Series: Carlos Henriquez and Obed Calvaire The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra

Arnhold Innovation Series: Carlos Henriquez and Obed Calvaire with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra brings two core orchestra voices to the foreground at Jazz at Lincoln Center. Bassist Carlos Henriquez and percussionist Obed Calvaire shape a program rooted in Puerto Rican and Haitian heritage, using original writing to trace Afro-Caribbean rhythm and song into modern jazz language. The project sits inside the Orchestra’s big-band discipline while making room for percussion-led textures and open improvisation. The approach favors clarity of groove and orchestral detail over spectacle.
