  • Manteca”--Dizzy Gillespie Big Band with Chano Pozo (1947) Added to the National Registry: 2004 Essay by Raul Fernandez (Guest Post)*
    “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.

    Maria Rivas Known as one of the most versatile voices in Latin America and now North America, Maria Rivas skillfully combines American and Latin Jazz rhythms with lively yet sentimental music from around the world. She interprets her music in English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese, and performs her own blend of traditional standards as well as music and lyrics she has composed herself. Maria’s unique sound is an intoxicating combination of classic American jazz and Latin music, with just the right splash of Brazilian accents, together with her signature mixture of indigenous, Caribbean, European, and African strains. From slow and sensuous, to very lively with a strong beat, her audiences love alternately to dance to her music, or sit and listen while being both moved and energized. A significant number of her audience members have described her performances as “magical” -- their word. Her exotic and varied repertoire includes American jazz and blues standards such as ‘Funny Valentine’, ‘Route 66’, ‘Lush Life’, and ‘Summertime;’ Latin classics like ‘Bésame Mucho’ and ‘Moliendo Café;’ smooth and sensuous Brazilian bossa nova tunes like ‘Girl from Ipanema’, ‘Corcovado’, ‘Dindi’ and ‘One Note Samba’; movingly romantic ballads, such as ‘My Romance’ and ‘Our Love is Here to Stay,’ and many, many others. During her musical career spanning over 30 years, Maria has “I consider Maria Rivas to be one of released ten CDs while headlining concerts in Latin America, North America, Europe, and Asia. including the world- the finest singers on the world stage famous Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.

Contact: [email protected] Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 11, no. 2, pp. 29-77 (2016) Flamenco Jazz: An Analytical Study Peter Manuel Since the 1990s, the hybrid genre of flamenco jazz has emerged as a dynamic and original entity in the realm of jazz, Spanish music, and the world music scene as a whole. Building on inherent compatibilities between jazz and flamenco, a generation of versatile Spanish musicians has synthesized the two genres in a wide variety of forms, creating in the process a coherent new idiom that can be regarded as a sort of mainstream flamenco jazz style. A few of these performers, such as pianist Chano Domínguez and wind player Jorge Pardo, have achieved international acclaim and become luminaries on the Euro-jazz scene. Indeed, flamenco jazz has become something of a minor bandwagon in some circles, with that label often being adopted, with or without rigor, as a commercial rubric to promote various sorts of productions (while conversely, some of the genre’s top performers are indifferent to the label 1). Meanwhile, however, as increasing numbers of gifted performers enter the field and cultivate genuine and substantial syntheses of flamenco and jazz, the new genre has come to merit scholarly attention for its inherent vitality, richness, and significance in the broader jazz world.

  • Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar
    Rethinking Tradition: Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar NAME: Francisco Javier Bethencourt Llobet FULL TITLE AND SUBJECT Doctor of Philosophy. Doctorate in Music. OF DEGREE PROGRAMME: School of Arts and Cultures. SCHOOL: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Newcastle University. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Nanette De Jong / Dr. Ian Biddle WORD COUNT: 82.794 FIRST SUBMISSION (VIVA): March 2011 FINAL SUBMISSION (TWO HARD COPIES): November 2011 Abstract: This thesis consists of four chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. It asks the question as to how contemporary guitarists have negotiated the relationship between tradition and modernity. In particular, the thesis uses primary fieldwork materials to question some of the assumptions made in more ‘literary’ approaches to flamenco of so-called flamencología . In particular, the thesis critiques attitudes to so-called flamenco authenticity in that tradition by bringing the voices of contemporary guitarists to bear on questions of belonging, home, and displacement. The conclusion, drawing on the author’s own experiences of playing and teaching flamenco in the North East of England, examines some of the ways in which flamenco can generate new and lasting communities of affiliation to the flamenco tradition and aesthetic.

A través del repertorio de ritmos, cantos y danzas que derrochan, se expresa el sentido de liberación corporal, emocional, y verbal de los artistas y el pueblo. La gente comparte su alegría, sus penas, así como su sentido de identidad y pertenencia comunitaria, nacional, gremial, racial, de género, familiar, y religiosa. Estas agrupaciones son portavoces de la disconformidad popular por los tabúes, y los estereotipos que atentan con las tradiciones y la prosperidad de la comunidad que representa. Este artículo trata de la comparsa “La Jardinera” del barrio de “Jesús María” en la Habana Vieja, emblemáticas comparsas de Cuba. Hablaremos del barrio y sus celebridades de la conga y la rumba. Palabras clave: Comparsa la Jardinera de Cuba. Barrio de Jesus Maria. Cuba. Conga. Rumba. As comparsas nos carnavais de Cuba são como as escolas de samba nos carnavais do Brasil.

  • Rumba Rebecca Bodenheimer
    Rumba Rebecca Bodenheimer LAST MODIFIED: 25 FEBRUARY 2016 DOI: 10.1093/OBO/9780199757824­0170 Introduction Along with the traditional dance genre son, the African­derived music and dance genre called rumba is widely considered to be the foundation of contemporary Cuban popular music. During the late 19th century it was the primary secular party music for poor black and racially mixed Cubans in western Cuba, and during the 20th century its musical features were incorporated into numerous popular genres, such as son, mambo, and salsa. Nonetheless, the literature on rumba does not include many in­depth studies, in Spanish or English. None of the pioneering scholars of Afro­Cuban culture gave much attention to rumba, as Fernando Ortiz and Lydia Cabrera focused primarily on Afro­Cuban sacred music. The little that has been written by these scholars, namely Ortiz and Alejo Carpentier, tends to overemphasize the “erotic” nature of the dance, thus reinforcing stereotypes about black culture. Nonetheless, as a member of Grupo Minorista—a group of poets, artists and composers founded in the 1920s who sought to valorize Afro­Cuban vernacular culture—Carpentier did view rumba as an important popular tradition. Among Cuban scholars writing after the Cuban Revolution, the primary in­depth studies of rumba have consisted of bachelor’s theses based on ethnographic research with rumba groups and one biography of important rumba musicians (see Musicians and Groups). There have also been articles on various aspects of rumba, and many Cuban scholars include discussions of the genre within sources on broader topics; the most significant examples of the latter are León 1984 (cited under History, Musical Features, and Musicians: History) and Urfé 1984 (cited under General Overviews and Reference Works).

  • Gershwin, Copland, Lecuoña, Chávez, and Revueltas
    Latin Dance-Rhythm Influences in Early Twentieth Century American Music: Gershwin, Copland, Lecuoña, Chávez, and Revueltas Mariesse Oualline Samuels Herrera Elementary School INTRODUCTION In June 2003, the U. S. Census Bureau released new statistics. The Latino group in the United States had grown officially to be the country’s largest minority at 38.8 million, exceeding African Americans by approximately 2.2 million. The student profile of the school where I teach (Herrera Elementary, Houston Independent School District) is 96% Hispanic, 3% Anglo, and 1% African-American. Since many of the Hispanic students are often immigrants from Mexico or Central America, or children of immigrants, finding the common ground between American music and the music of their indigenous countries is often a first step towards establishing a positive learning relationship. With this unit, I aim to introduce students to a few works by Gershwin and Copland that establish connections with Latin American music and to compare these to the works of Latin American composers. All of them have blended the European symphonic styles with indigenous folk music, creating a new strand of world music. The topic of Latin dance influences at first brought to mind Mexico and mariachi ensembles, probably because in South Texas, we hear Mexican folk music in neighborhood restaurants, at weddings and birthday parties, at political events, and even at the airports. Whether it is a trio of guitars, a group of folkloric dancers, or a full mariachi band, the Mexican folk music tradition is part of the Tex-Mex cultural blend. The same holds true in New Mexico, Arizona, and California.
