More than just a great bandleader and a master percussionist, for over four decades Tito Puente was the Latin jazz bandleader, freely mixing jazz and Cuban music into a strong, spicy concoction. Popular host Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra bassist Carlos Henriquez and friends will demonstrate why Mr. Puente was called ’El Rey de Salsa’ and the ’King of the Mambo.’
