Andy Gonzalez Entre Colegas Download Album Bassist Andy González, Who Brought Bounce to Latin Dance and Jazz, Dies at 69 andy gonzalez entre colegas download album Bassist Andy González, Who Brought Bounce To Latin Dance And Jazz, Dies At 69. Andy González, a New York bassist who both explored and bridged the worlds of Latin music and jazz, has died. The 69-year-old musician died in New York on Thursday night, from complications of a pre-existing illness, according to family members. Born and bred in the Bronx, Andy González epitomized the fiercely independent Nuyorican attitude through his music — with one foot in Puerto Rican tradition and the other in the cutting-edge jazz of his native New York. González's career stretched back decades, and included gigs or recordings with a who's-who of Latin dance music, including Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri and Ray Barretto. He also played with trumpeter and Afro-Cuban jazz pioneer Dizzy Gillespie while in his twenties, as he explored the rich history of Afro-Caribbean music through books and records. In the mid-1970s, he and his brother, the trumpet and conga player Jerry González, hosted jam sessions — in the basement of their parents' home in the Bronx — that explored the folkloric roots of the then-popular salsa movement. The result was an influential album, Concepts In Unity, recorded by the participants of those sessions, who called themselves Grupo Folklórico y Experimental Nuevayorquino. Toward the end of that decade, the González brothers were part of another fiery collective known as The Fort Apache Band, which performed sporadically and went on to release two acclaimed albums in the '80s — and continued to release music through the following decades — emphasizing the complex harmonies of jazz with Afro-Caribbean underpinnings. Throughout, Andy was also putting in time with his and Manny Oquendo's popular dance band, Libre. A prolific side man, Andy González released his only solo album, Entre Colegas , in 2016, earning a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Jazz Album. Entre Colegas.

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.

Contact: [email protected] CHAPTER Srx Improvisation in Latin Dance Music: History and Style PETER MANUEL Latin dance music constitutes one of the most dynamic and sophisticated urban popular music traditions in the Americas. Improvisation plays an important role in this set of genres, and its styles are sufficiently distinctive, complex, and internally significant as to merit book-length treatment along the lines of Paul Berliner's volume Thinking in Jazz (1994 ). To date, however, the subject of Latin improvisation has received only marginal and cursory analytical treat­ ment, primarily in recent pedagogical guidebooks and videos. 1 While a single chijpter such as this can hardly do justice to the subject, an attempt will be made here to sketch some aspects of the historical development of Latin im­ provisational styles, to outline the sorts of improvisation occurring in main­ stream contemporary Latin music, and to take a more focused look at improvi­ sational styles of one representative instrument, the piano. An ultimate and only partially realized goal in this study is to hypothesize a unified, coherent aesthetic of Latin improvisation in general.

"I think that to be a straight-ahead jazz musician now means drawing on a wider variety of things than 30 or 40 years ago. Not to play a little bit of this or a little bit of that, but to blend everything together into something that sounds good. It doesn't sound like pastiche or shifting styles; it's people with a lot of knowledge." Few musicians embody this 21st century credo as profoundly as the 48-year-old trumpet master.

  • Manny Oquendo
    Manny Oquendo Manny Oquendo (January 1, 1931 – March 25, 2009) was a percussionist of Puerto Rican ancestry. His main instruments were bongós and timbales. [See: “Timbales Demonstration” (Manny Oquendo) and “The Martillo [Bongo] Pattern” (Manny Oquendo) Oquendo grew up in New York City and began studying percussion in 1945. He worked in the bands of tropical and Latin music ensembles such as Carlos Valero, Luis del Campo, Juan “El Boy” Torres, Luciano “Chano” Pozo, José Budet, Juanito Sanabria, Marcelino Guerra, José Curbelo, and Pupi Campo. In 1950, he became the bongó player for Tito Puente. Following this he played with Tito Rodríquez in 1954 and Vicentico Valdés in 1955. He worked freelance in New York before joining Eddie Palmieri’s Conjunto La Perfecta in 1962, where he helped develop the New York style of the mozambique rhythm. He co-led Conjunto Libre (later simply Libre) with bassist Andy González from 1974 and had a worldwide hit with “Little Sunflower” in 1983. Oquendo’s timbales solos were famous for their tastefully sparse, straight forward “típico” phrasing. The following five measure excerpt is from a timbales solo by Oquendo on “Mambo.” The clave pattern is written above for reference. Notice how the passage begins and ends by coinciding with the strokes of clave. Excerpt from timbales solo by Manny Oquendo, “Mambo” (1974). Incorporation of rumba quinto vocabulary Oquendo’s solos also incorporated the rhythmic language of the folkloric quinto, the lead drum of rumba. The short excerpt below is from a timbales solo by Manny Oquendo on “Cuba Linda” (1975). This is a quinto crossing phrase that groups the regular pulses in sets of three.

  • A Conversation with Flautist, Mark Weinstein
    A Conversation with flautist, Mark Weinstein On the Release of Con Alma (Jazzheads, 2007) Interview by Tomas Peña Tom: Congratulations on yet another fine recording! This is our third conversation in two years. On to Con Alma … tell me about your concept going in, and why you chose this particular group of musicians to accompany you on your journey. Mark: My notoriety in the Latin Jazz community is still based on my 1967 trombone recording, Cuban Roots, and the two sequels on flute, Cuban Roots Revisited (2001) and Algo Mas (2005). It is of an avant-garde player of Afro-Cuban folkloric-based jazz. I had also recorded a number of albums of Brazilian jazz, Tudo de Bom (2003) and O Nosso Amor (2005). I decided to make a mainstream Latin jazz album to broaden the presentation of my music and make it more radio friendly. The key was to hire one of my oldest friends in the business, Mark Levine, to perform and co-produce the album. Mark has very deep roots in Latin Jazz and is a great jazz pianist with nothing to prove. I knew any project that he participated in would be deep and musical. Once Mark agreed, we chose a selection of classic material by Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter as the core and then added other material to round out the album. TP: That would be Mark Levine’s La Coneja Loca , Santi Debriano’s Santi’s Africaleidoscope and your Broadway Local. MW: With Mark in place, I picked bassist Santi Debriano who played on two of my other records and is both a great soloist and totally comfortable with Latin drumming of all sorts.
