    “Manteca”--Dizzy Gillespie Big Band with Chano Pozo (1947) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Raul Fernandez (guest post)* Chano Pozo and Dizzy Gillespie The jazz standard “Manteca” was the product of a collaboration between Charles Birks “Dizzy” Gillespie and Cuban musician, composer and dancer Luciano (Chano) Pozo González. “Manteca” signified one of the beginning steps on the road from Afro-Cuban rhythms to Latin jazz. In the years leading up to 1940, Cuban rhythms and melodies migrated to the United States, while, simultaneously, the sounds of American jazz traveled across the Caribbean. Musicians and audiences acquainted themselves with each other’s musical idioms as they played and danced to rhumba, conga and big-band swing. Anthropologist, dancer and choreographer Katherine Dunham was instrumental in bringing several Cuban drummers who performed in authentic style with her dance troupe in New York in the mid-1940s. All this laid the groundwork for the fusion of jazz and Afro-Cuban music that was to occur in New York City in the 1940s, which brought in a completely new musical form to enthusiastic audiences of all kinds. This coming fusion was “in the air.” A brash young group of artists looking to push jazz in fresh directions began to experiment with a radical new approach. Often playing at speeds beyond the skills of most performers, the new sound, “bebop,” became the proving ground for young New York jazz musicians. One of them, “Dizzy” Gillespie, was destined to become a major force in the development of Afro-Cuban or Latin jazz. Gillespie was interested in the complex rhythms played by Cuban orchestras in New York, in particular the hot dance mixture of jazz with Afro-Cuban sounds presented in the early 1940s by Mario Bauzá and Machito’s Afrocubans Orchestra which included singer Graciela’s balmy ballads.

  • The Jazz Scene”—Various Artists (1949) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Tad Hershorn (Guest Post)*
    “The Jazz Scene”—Various artists (1949) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Tad Hershorn (guest post)* Original album cover When “The Jazz Scene” was released in 1950, Norman Granz had significantly reshaped the jazz world in his image. Jazz historian and senior “Down Beat” editor John McDonough emphatically summed up Granz’s achievements when he wrote, “Two mavericks changed the face of jazz in the 1940s. Charlie Parker changed the way it was played. Norman Granz changed the way it was sold.” By this time, Granz’s popular seasonal national tours of Jazz at the Philharmonic (JATP), jam session concerts of jazz superstars, had gone on since 1945 after their debut in his hometown of Los Angeles the previous year. In 1949, Ella Fitzgerald joined JATP in what turned out to be a nearly 45-year relationship with Granz, who both managed her career and had her recording contract. Oscar Peterson began a similar long-term relationship with Granz when he joined JATP in 1950, when Granz likewise managed and recorded him over the decades. Granz also distinguished himself as an unyielding champion of racial justice, who had anti-segregation clauses in his contracts from the very beginning, and also offered top pay, travel and accommodations for those working for him. Two years later the jazz impresario began annual tours of Europe, where JATP proved to be as popular there as it had been in the United States. In 1953, Granz and his tours and recordings on his independent labels were beginning to crest. Around 500,000 people packed his concerts worldwide, including tours of Europe and Japan, while he also produced half the jazz records in the United States.

  • Excerpts from a Concert Review of Machito and His Orchestra the Palladium Ballroom, December 1,1949
    Excerpts from a Concert Review of Machito and His Orchestra The Palladium Ballroom, December 1,1949 Machito and His Afro-Cuban Orchestra (1940s) With the emergence of be-bop [a form of Jazz] from its hidden, out-of-the-way incubators uptown into the heady air of Broadway, it’s become the thing to talk learnedly of the Afro-Cuban origins of bop rhythm. A trip to the Palladium to dig the remarkable Machito band can soon put the matter into its true perspective. (Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton are frequent visitors.) The subtle interplay of Machito’s five-man rhythm section, with Machito or Graciela making a sixth on the claves, is wondrous to hear. With each percussionist doing something of his own, the sounds fuse into an irresistible beat. Emphasis shifts from man to man, in a continuously varying pattern, but the beat is always there, strong, true and exciting. There lies the essential Cubano contribution to be- bop—the shifting among rhythm instruments while attempting to produce a steady discernible pulse. But the bopsters [be-bop Jazz musicians] are a long way from mastery of this technique, which is second nature within the Machito band. Material consists largely of standard and original [Latin American] numbers of every rhythm—rumba variations, boleros, guaguanacos, guajaras, guarachas. The current craze is the mambo, a fast rumba, with which the hip terpers are now compulsively occupied. One of the hall’s features is the Wednesday night mambo contests, which regularly draw not only the hip steppers but also instructors and pros like Arthur Murray and the de Marcos.
