Etienne Charles: Folklore LIVE Vol. 2
About This Event
Trumpeter and composer Etienne Charles brings Folklore LIVE Vol. 2 to Jazz at Lincoln Center. Known for blending Caribbean rhythms with jazz, Charles is joined by Brazilian bandolinist Hamilton de Holanda and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, framing a program that connects Caribbean and Brazilian rhythmic vocabularies with big‑band jazz practice.
About Sounds of Brazil
Sounds of Brazil is presented at Jazz at Lincoln Center in a live New York setting that treats Brazilian jazz as part of the city’s broader jazz story. The program brings bandolim player Hamilton de Holanda into dialogue with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra under Wynton Marsalis, tracing lines between choro, samba, and big-band arranging. New York has long been a U.S. crossroads for Brazilian music since the bossa nova era, and this performance extends that lineage. One clear point emerges: the rhythm carries the structure as much as the harmony.
