Arturo O’Farrill and The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra at Jazz at Lincoln Center

Jazz at Lincoln Center opens its Unity Jazz Festival with Arturo O'Farrill & The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra.
The Appel Room is one of New York's singular stages: an amphitheater wrapped around a five-story wall of glass, with Columbus Circle and Central Park glittering behind the bandstand. Put eighteen musicians and the full engine of Afro Latin jazz in front of that view, and the city itself becomes part of the orchestration.
Belongó founder and Artistic Director Arturo O'Farrill leads the Orchestra through a program built for a festival named Unity: original works and reimagined traditions that treat the Americas as one continuous musical conversation, from clave to swing and back. The festival's opening night also features Myra Melford and Weedie Braimah & The Hands of Time across the House of Swing.
Cozy up with us this January for a memorable night of Afro Latin jazz lit by the picturesque view of the New York City skyline.
