Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra bassist Carlos Henriquez will present the world premiere of an exclusive new JLCO program, with special guest Pedrito Martinez, entitled Monk con Clave, featuring new and reinvented music inspired by Thelonious Monk. In addition to Pedrito, the concert will also feature special guests including Michael Rodriguez (trumpet), Anthony Almonte (vocals and percussion), and Osmany Paredes (piano).

This first-ever performance includes reinventions of Monk classics such as “Bye-Ya,” “Evidence,” “Boo Boo’s Birthday,” and inspired new works. With congas and clave providing the groove, any Monk piece becomes danceable....
