Musically yours, Rudy & Yvette Mangual Bloque 53 Cogelo Ahi Windows Media Quicktime FEATURES Chico Álvarez El Indio Caonabo Latin Jazz Alive and Well Windows Media Jazz Latino Vivito y Coleando Quicktime By Rudy Mangual Bio Ritmo I'm still experiencing a bad taste in my mouth as a result of last year's NARAS fiasco, when the La Muralla Latin jazz category (among others) was eliminated from its roster, generating months of protests, 1 of 51 11/12/2005 1:01 AM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Features http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/features.html Streaming Music outrage and even a lawsuit, before NARAS reinstated Latin jazz back into the system. In the end, Latin jazz musicians gained strength and unity from this experience, making the genre even stronger, more versatile and universal than ever. Louie Cruz Beltran Paint the Rhythm In order to pinpointing the genesis of Latin jazz or, to be more precise, Afro-Cuban jazz (as it was Windows Media original known), we have to go back to the early days of jazz and the music of Jelly Roll Morton, Quicktime who utilized Cuban habanera elements in his 1920s compositions, an approach he called "the Spanish tinge." He indicated that his "Spanish tinge" was an integral part of the formation of jazz music. Shorthly thereafter, the Puerto Rican trombonist Juan Tizol composed a jazz standard, Cintron Band Live "Caravan" that also revealed such "Spanish tinge", but was not clave-based. While directing the Human Nature big band known as Machito and his Afro-Cubans in 1943, Mario Bauzá penned the score titled Windows Media "Tanga", which is regarded as the first true Latin jazz composition written within the 2-3 Cuban Quicktime clave meter. Vanelis In 1947, bebop innovator and jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie, along with Cuban conga drummer Como Lo Extraño Chano Pozo, wrote "Manteca," the first jazz standard to be rhythmically based on the Cuban Windows Media clave. The partnership of Gillespie and Pozo somewhat internationalized the new Afro-Cuban jazz Quicktime movement, which they baptized as "cubop", in reference to the fusion of bebop with Afro-Cuban rhythms. From this point on, the marriage of jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms started gaining fans and popularity all over the world. Nayibe Borinquen Drummer/vibraphonist Cal Tjader came onto the scene in the early 1950s and featured a young Windows Media Cuban conga player by the name of Mongo Santamaría and his percussive Nuyorican protégé Quicktime Willie Bobo. In Spanish Harlem, two young musicians, both going by the same nickname "Tito" (Puente and Rodríguez) were battling it out at the legendary Palladium nightclub in New York City next to their idol Frank Grillo, better known as Machito. Many others followed, including Charlie Luis González and Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, Sabú Martínez, Cándido Camero, and Patato Valdés, to Spain mention but a few. Windows Media Quicktime In Brazil, the West Coast cool jazz movement had inspired bossa nova movement that emerged in the mid-1950s and was nourished by the samba rhythms. By the early 1960s, bossa nova Rolando Sanchez gained worldwide popularity, under the leadership of Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto and Vamonos De Fiesta Stan Getz. Windows Media Quicktime After the initial participation of Cuban musicians and rhythms into the Latin jazz musical stew, Cuban musicians living in Cuba were mostly forgotten after the establishment of the U.S. "embargo" in the early 1960s, with very few making an impact in Latin jazz until the emergence of Steve Pouchie the group Irakere in the mid-1970s. Led by pianist Chucho Valdés, Irakere featured Paquito Watch Ur Wallet D'Rivera and Arturo Sandoval among several other top Cuban players In addition, Cuba has Windows Media been musically represented in the U.S. by Mongo Santamaría, Chico O'Farrill, Israel "Cachao" Quicktime López, Cándido Camero, Armando Peraza, Chino Pozo, Patato Valdés, and Francisco Aguabella, (and later by Paquito D'Rivera, Arturo Sandoval, and subsequent musical defectors.). Somos Son Today, Latin jazz has no set boundaries, limitations or set conditions. The new blends include a Bilongo 2 of 51 11/12/2005 1:01 AM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Features http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/features.html Windows Media wide range of forms and genres from Latin America, the Antilles, and the Iberian Peninsula, Quicktime including but not limited to Andalucian flamenco, Argentinean tango and milonga, Afro-Peruvian landó, Colombian cumbia, Venezulean vals, and multilingual rhythms from all the islands in the Caribbean. The Estrada Brothers Mr. Ray In 1993, trombonist/bandleader William Cepeda proclaimed his music to be "Afro-Rican jazz" Windows Media (blending the traditional rhythms of Afro-Puerto Rican music with jazz). Latin jazz bands are Quicktime calling home places such as Japan, Sweden, France, Great Britain, Australia, and Holland, just to name but a few. Some Latin jazz artists you need to check out, aside from the already mentioned, include the Fort Apache Band, Bongó Logic, Jane Bunnett, Michel Camilo, Chano Manny Silvera Domínguez, Caribbean Jazz Project, Cubanismo, Jorge Dalto, Frank Emilio, Hilario Durán, Bassed in America Giovanni Hidalgo, Mark Levine, Clare Fischer, Danilo Pérez, Hilton Ruiz, Bobby Sanabria, Windows Media Sonido Isleño, Batacumbele, John Santos, Papo Vásquez, Orlando "Maraca" Valle, Bobby Quicktime Matos, Azymuth, Henry Cole, and Miguel Zenón. The following are three Latin jazz acts that are enjoying new live groundbreaking recordings as of this writing. Two of them are veteran West Coast bandleaders and household names in the world of Latin jazz (Poncho Sánchez and Pete Escovedo) and the third one is one of the top progressive and experimental new Latin jazz bands in the scene: Ninety Miles (featuring David Sánchez, Stefon Harris and Christian Scott). Ninety Miles - Live At Cubadisco 3 of 51 11/12/2005 1:01 AM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Features http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/features.html Vibraphonist Stefon Harris (a four-time Grammy-nominee from Albany, New York), saxophonist David Sánchez (a Grammy recipient, native of Puerto Rico) and Christian Scott (a Grammy- nominated trumpeter from New Orleans) front the group "Ninety Miles" — an adventurous collaborative project which bridges jazz modalities with the rhythms of the Caribbean, reaffirming the powerful forces of today's Latin jazz. By the way, ninety miles is the distance separating the Florida Keys from Cuba. It's the gap that keeps two people apart due to political differences, but cannot separate the joy, love and passion for music shared by both sides. Recorded live on May 18, 2010, at Havana's Teatro Amadeo Roldán during the annual festival called Cubadisco, "Ninety Miles — Live At Cubadisco" captures the profound musical eloquence of these young lions of jazz with a little help from some highly talented Cuban musicians such as pianists/bandleaders Harold López-Nussa and Rember Duharte. 4 of 51 11/12/2005 1:01 AM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Features http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/features.html The magic in this live recording is boundless, inspiring playful improvisations, while reflecting the cross-cultural diversity of these special players. This is not just straight-ahead jazz and Latin jazz, but a loud and clear expression from the heart and soul of these brilliant music makers. All seven tracks in this recording are outstanding and full of textural complexity. This recording also marks the first live performance of Ninety Miles and the live rehearsal for their acclaimed debut two-disc CD/DVD package released on June 21, 2011. "Ninety Miles Live At Cubadisco" had a U.S. digital release September 25, 2012 (international release dates may vary) on Concord Picante.

  • Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano
    COLOMBIAN NATIONALISM: FOUR MUSICAL PERSPECTIVES FOR VIOLIN AND PIANO by Ana Maria Trujillo A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Major: Music The University of Memphis December 2011 ABSTRACT Trujillo, Ana Maria. DMA. The University of Memphis. December/2011. Colombian Nationalism: Four Musical Perspectives for Violin and Piano. Dr. Kenneth Kreitner, Ph.D. This paper explores the Colombian nationalistic musical movement, which was born as a search for identity that various composers undertook in order to discover the roots of Colombian musical folklore. These roots, while distinct, have all played a significant part in the formation of the culture that gave birth to a unified national identity. It is this identity that acts as a recurring motif throughout the works of the four composers mentioned in this study, each representing a different stage of the nationalistic movement according to their respective generations, backgrounds, and ideological postures. The idea of universalism and the integration of a national identity into the sphere of the Western musical tradition is a dilemma that has caused internal struggle and strife among generations of musicians and artists in general. This paper strives to open a new path in the research of nationalistic music for violin and piano through the analyses of four works written for this type of chamber ensemble: the third movement of the Sonata Op. 7 No.1 for Violin and Piano by Guillermo Uribe Holguín; Lopeziana, piece for Violin and Piano by Adolfo Mejía; Sonata for Violin and Piano No.3 by Luís Antonio Escobar; and Dúo rapsódico con aires de currulao for Violin and Piano by Andrés Posada.

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.
