Wynton Marsalis, artistic adviser
Led by pianist Arturo O’Farrill, the Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra was created at the urging of Wynton Marsalis, the acclaimed trumpeter and artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center. Sporting 18 sizzling soloists from the Latin jazz scene, the ensemble plays the classics of the Afro-Latin jazz tradition and commissions the classics of tomorrow. Said Jazz Times of one of the orchestra’s recent concerts, “There’s nothing you can do with such an exhilarating performance except submit, with pleasure.”
