Among the eliminated categories were: Latin jazz, traditional and contemporary blues, Hawaiian, Mexican Norteña, polka, Native American, R&B, gospel, traditional and contemporary jazz, and Cajun/Zydeco music.

"Music Rights is our Fight!" 4 of 21 4/1/2012 12:01 AM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Columns http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/columns.html "The incredible response to our call for musical justice demonstrates that our movement to reinstate the 31 categories has deep roots, roots that are growing," said Bobby Matos (Latin jazz bandleader and a leader in the "Grammy Watch" movement to reinstate the deleted categories). West Coast Latin jazz musicians from San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco came together in a collective show of strength including John Santos, John Calloway, Bobby Matos, Gary Eisenberg and Sandy Cressman, as well as East Coast representatives Bobby Sanabria and Oscar Hernández. Chorus "Stop Grammy Attacks on Culture!" "Music Rights is our Fight!" 5 of 21 4/1/2012 12:01 AM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Columns http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/columns.html After the protest, musicians and local fans came together at the popular Mama Juana's nightclub in Studio City to celebrate with a jam session concert. An all-star cast band led by guitarist Ray Carrion was joined by many top players from diverse musical genres on hand to support the protest. The core band included Ileana Rose, Alberto Salas, and Zak Astor (piano), Susie Hansen and Papo Mendez (violin), Conchita Lopez (vocals), Bob Desena and Ruben Estrada (vibes), Joey De Leon, Victor Baez, Ramoncito Ramos, and Robertito Melendez (percussion), Walfredo Reyes (trap drums), Gilberto Torres (flute/vocals), George Lopez and Eliseo Borrero (bass), Gary Eisenberg (trumpet), and Ray Carrion (guitar). Guest players included: Oscar Hernandez and Sergei Kasimoff (piano), John Calloway and Sandy Cressman (flute), Bobby Sanabria (trap drums), John Santos and Bobby Matos (percussion), among many others. Joining the Grammy Watch movement was Presente.org (the largest online Latino advocacy organization in the country). "Presente.org and its thousands of members joined forces with the musicians in order to tell Mr. Portnow and NARAS that they cannot simply render our music irrelevant and think that we will simply stand by and leave the musicians alone," said Arturo Carmona, executive director of Presente.org. On August 1, 2011, four Latin jazz musicians, Bobby Sanabria, Mark Levine, Doctors Benjamin Lapidus and Eugene Marlow, filed a historic class action lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against NARAS for the elimination of the Latin jazz Grammy category. Latin Beat Magazine Online published an article by Benjamin Lapidus in regards to the lawsuit in the September 2011 online issue (See E-Back Issues on lbmo.com). 6 of 21 4/1/2012 12:01 AM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Columns http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/columns.html Chorus "Stop Grammy Attacks on Culture!"

A BITE FROM THE APPLE By Vicki Solá Whiskey Café patrons recently enjoyed dancing to the dynamic sounds of Jerry Hernández & Orquesta Dee Jay on “Latin Sunday”. Impressed to see so many young musicians on stage, I decided to find out more. 8 of 21 4/1/2012 12:01 AM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Columns http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/columns.html In 2007, puzzled that he didn't hear Orquesta Dee Jay's music on any major radio stations, Hernández- the band's original trombonist-researched the Internet. He found that his orchestra, formed initially in 1968, hadn't been forgotten by record collectors or DJs. In fact, Orquesta Dee Jay remained popular into the mid-seventies, when it featured some of the salsa industry's youngest players. "We performed at the big dances run by Ralph Mercado and Héctor Maisonet, and in all the top New York nightclubs - The Cheetah, The Psycho Room, the Corso, Casa Blanca and the Village Gate, which only presented headliners," recalls Hernández, adding that they even appeared on Miguelito Valdés' TV show. In 1970, the group recorded the LP "Pa'lante Con La Orquesta Dee Jay" (MGM Latino), featuring "Las Malas Lenguas," "La Jara," "Camaguela," and "Yemayá". Its second LP, "Forget It" (released in 1971 by Lenguas Records and reissued on CD format by the label Latinsooul in 2007), including the tracks "Doña Paula," "Buena Suerte," "Yemayá y Obatalá," and "Mi Son". "Our original LPs are now collector's items that go for up to $250," notes Hernández. "Our music is original-created from jam sessions before rehearsals." At the 2007 New York Salsa Congress, Hernández discussed re-releasing "Forget It" through Latinsoul Records and Hardsalsa.com's Andrés Padua. After consulting this matter with Orquesta Dee Jay's original leader George de Jesús, who was unable to devote time to the project, Hernández reformed the orchestra in 2008. "I hadn't played since 1993," stated Hernández. He bought a new trombone and began practicing. Orquesta Dee Jay performed at the 2009 New Jersey Salsa Congress and the 2011 New York Salsa Congress, in addition to the Festival Salsatongs in Marseilles, France. They now boast a worldwide database of over 4,000 followers. "Today's band," says Hernández, "is comprised of a younger generation, as well as a few older members like Willie Serrano and Fernando Rentas, who played in rival bands back in the 1970s, and have been with us since our new beginning. The younger ones were brought up on "salsa romántica"-playing "salsa dura" is new for them." Twenty-two-year-old conguero Noel Otero, Jr. is the youngest. "In the 1990s, his father and I played in a cover-tune band. Junior would cry-he wanted to be on stage with his father, who'd sit him under his timbal. He would want to hold the sticks and bang them on the floor." As school budget cuts decimate music programs, Hernández worries.

We love marginal scraps of paper that become important artifacts of historical import decades later. In this catalog of flyers, we celebrate phenomenal throwaway pieces of paper in music, art, poetry, film, and activism. Readers will find rare flyers for underground films by Kenneth Anger, Jack Smith, and Andy Warhol; incredible early hip-hop flyers designed by Buddy Esquire and others; and punk artifacts of Crass, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the underground Austin scene. Also included are scarce protest flyers and examples of mutual aid in the 20th Century, such as a flyer from Angela Davis speaking in Harlem only months after being found not guilty for the kidnapping and murder of a judge, and a remarkably illustrated flyer from a free nursery in the Lower East Side. For over a decade, Boo-Hooray has been committed to the organization, stabilization, and preservation of cultural narratives through archival placement. Today, we continue and expand our mission through the sale of individual items and smaller collections.

This dance, now known as “on 2” mambo, or salsa, for its relationship to the clave, is the first uniquely North American form of vernacular Latino dance on the East Coast. This paper traces the New York mambo’s develop- ment from its beginnings at the Palladium Ballroom through the salsa and hustle years and up to the present time. The current period is characterized by increasing growth, commercialization, codification, and a blending with other modern, urban dance genres such as hip-hop.

Heller, PhD Hybridity and Identity in the Pan-American Jazz Piano Tradition William D. Scott, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 The term Latin jazz has often been employed by record labels, critics, and musicians alike to denote idioms ranging from Afro-Cuban music, to Brazilian samba and bossa nova, and more broadly to Latin American fusions with jazz. While many of these genres have coexisted under the Latin jazz heading in one manifestation or another, Panamanian pianist Danilo Pérez uses the expression “Pan-American jazz” to account for both the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition and non-Cuban Latin American fusions with jazz. Throughout this dissertation, I unpack the notion of Pan-American jazz from a variety of theoretical perspectives including Latinx identity discourse, transcription and musical analysis, and hybridity theory.
