  • 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.

  • “Mongo” Santamaría
    ABOUT “MONGO” SANTAMARÍA The late 1940's saw the birth of Latin Jazz in New York City, performed first by its pioneers Machito, Mario Bauza, Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo. Ramón "Mongo" Santamaría Rodríguez emerged from the next wave of Latin Jazz that was led by vibraphonist Cal Tjader and timbalero Tito Puente. When Mongo finally became a bandleader himself, his impact was profound on both the Latin music world and the jazz world. His musical career was long, ushering in styles from religious Afro-Cuban drumming and charanga-jazz to pop- jazz, soul-jazz, Latin funk and eventually straight ahead Latin jazz. From Mongo’s bands emerged some young players who eventually became jazz legends, such as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Hubert Laws. I had a chance to meet Mongo a few times during the years which culminated in a wonderful hangout on my radio show Jazz on the Latin Side, broadcast on KJazz 88.1 FM in Los Angeles) where he shared great stories and he also sat in with the live band that I had on the air that night. What a treat for my listeners! After his passing I felt like jazz fans were beginning to forget him. So I decided to form Mongorama in his honor and revisit his innovative charanga-jazz years of the 1960s. Mongo Santamaría was the most impactful Jazz “conguero” ever! Hopefully Mongorama will not only remind jazz fans of his greatness, but also create new fans that will explore his vast musical body of work. Viva Mongo!!!!! - Mongorama founder and bandleader José Rizo .

  • My Generation
    im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 01805 - 060347 90476 [email protected] “Hope I die before I get old…” The Who – My Generation Das Frontcover von My Generation, dem Debütalbum von The Who, steht für eine ganz Ära, genauso wie die Musik darauf. Auf dem Foto trägt John Entwistle lässig eine Jacke über der Schulter, die aus einem Union Jack gefertigt wurde. Heutzutage findet man dieses Symbol auf Kaffeetassen, Kissenbezügen, T-Shirts und diversen anderen Kleidungsstücken. Aber im Dezember 1965, als My Generation herauskam, weigerten sich die meisten Schneider auf der Savile Row, den Union Jack in eine Jacke umzunähen. “Sie dachten, sie kämen dafür ins Gefängnis”, erzählte Roger Daltrey. Die abweisende Attitüde von The Who und die dreiste Verwendung der Nationalflagge waren die beste Werbung für My Generation, die man sich vorstellen konnte. Das Album klingt, wie es aussieht: kurz angebunden, auf Konfrontation aus und voller jungendlichem Zorn und Energie. Da überrascht es kaum, dass der Entstehungsprozess von Konflikten durchzogen war. My Generation war das Ergebnis eines mentalen Armdrückens – zwischen mutigen, neuen Ideen und Popmusiktradition. Als die Platte endlich in die Läden kam, war der Union Jack der Band zerrissen und blutverschmiert – als hätte er zwei Weltkriege mitgemacht. Das Album wurde von Shel Talmy produziert und die Erstveröffentlichung in Großbritannien im Dezember 1965 lief über Brunswick Records. In den USA kam es im April 1966 mit dem Titel ‘The Who Sings My Generation’ heraus. Auf der britischen Version findet sich das legendäre, von Decca Records Fotograf David Wedgbury in den Surrey Docks im Südosten London gemachte Foto, auf dem die vier Musiker alle in die über ihnen befindliche Linse schauen – eine Pose, die auch Jahre später noch von vielen Bands kopiert wurde.

El Corazon de Cuba Educational Program Curriculum Small group, multidiscipline, educational program. The objective of the program is to strengthen your knowledge to better enable you to participate in important public policy discussion on a wide range of topics that affect your life. The program provides and opportunities to comparing and contrasting the work environment, quality of life, social programs, political structure and policies, economic policy and structure, environment, and culture that you are familiar with, to those of Cuba. Day-to-day, on an ongoing basis throughout the program there will be opportunities to meet people, small group discussion with Cubans and excursions and presentations on history, architecture, culture, ethnic diversity, social systems, gender rights and roles, politics, agriculture, mining, industry, fisheries, music, language, religion, geology, botany, and ecology. The following curriculum fails to include literally hundreds of serendipitous people-to-people encounters when we purposefully visit small towns and villages to by snacks and refreshment to talk to people, and ask questions and strike up conversations. Ironically, some of the most meaningful and enlightening people-to-people contacts are the hardest, and virtually impossible, to document. Day 1: “Anatomy of the capital of the Capital: Introducing information on the history and change of Havana, and specifically Vedado ”: architecture (residential and commercial), use patterns (park boulevard, parks, residential and commercial), public institutions (schools, hospitals (8, including cardio and oncology)), religious institutions (churches, convents and two synagogue), monuments and statues (John Lennon, socialist world leaders, military, politician, intellectuals, Jose Marti) and transportation.

  • MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward Demonstrates a Tune on Piano
    MUSIC 262: Art/Prog Rock [Brian Ward demonstrates a tune on piano] [Brian Ward]: So around this time in rock and roll we really start to see a lot of fragmentation going on, and that’s reflected in this course. The way we have this designed is so that we can go in different directions with the music, and that’s what the music did all sort of at the same time. One of the directions is what we now call art rock and also progressive rock. Now art rock and progressive rock are terms that are used loosely. A good way to describe it is art rock is rock and roll that is influenced by classical music while progressive rock is more influenced by jazz, so- but you have different elements in varying degrees of influence and in different ways. A good illustration of that is one of the first bands that I want to talk about is The Who. Now The Who were definitely a straight down the line rock and roll band, and they started like a lot of these other British bands: imitating the blues and rhythm and blues music from the United States, but The Who were very unique. They had probably the most four individualized members of any band of all time. All four members of the band, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon, were all very, very different people coming from different backgrounds, and that reflected in their music, and they used that to their advantage quite a bit. But with The Who I think rock star first becoming an art form in the sense that they had longer forms and they used many structures that eventually became mini-operas and they eventually made a rock opera called “Tommy.” Now when they started out they were more on the cutting edge of hard rock.

    DRAMATURGY GUIDE School of Rock: The Musical The National Theatre January 16-27, 2019 Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber Book by Julian Fellowes Lyrics by Glenn Slater Based on the Paramount Film Written by Mike White Featuring 14 new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber and all the original songs from the movie Packet prepared by Dramaturg Linda Lombardi Sources: School of Rock: The Musical, The Washington Post ABOUT THE SHOW Based on the hit film, this hilarious new musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who poses as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school to earn a few extra bucks. To live out his dream of winning the Battle of the Bands, he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. While teaching the students what it means to truly rock, something happens Dewey didn’t expect... they teach him what it means to care about something other than yourself. For almost 200 years, The National Theatre has occupied a prominent position on Pennsylvania Avenue – “America’s Main Street” – and played a central role in the cultural and civic life of Washington, DC. Located a stone’s throw from the White House and having the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site as it’s “front yard,” The National Theatre is a historic, cultural presence in our Nation’s Capital and the oldest continuously operating enterprise on Pennsylvania Avenue. The non-profit National Theatre Corporation oversees the historic theatre and serves the DC community through three free outreach programs, Saturday Morning at The National, Community Stage Connections, and the High School Ticket Program.

  • Omara Portuondo, La Voz Que Acaricia
    Omara Portuondo, la voz que acaricia Por ALEJANDRO C. MORENO y MARRERO. En anteriores artículos he profundizado en la vida y obra de grandes compositores de la música latinoamericana de todos los tiempos. Sin embargo, en esta ocasión he considerado oportuno dedicar el presente monográfico a la figura de la cantante cubana Omara Portuondo, la mejor intérprete que he tenido el placer de escuchar. Omara Portuondo Peláez nace en la ciudad de La Habana (Cuba) en 1930. De madre perteneciente a una familia de la alta sociedad española y padre cubano, tuvo la gran fortuna de crecer en un ambiente propicio para el arte. Ambos eran grandes aficionados a la música y supieron transmitir a la pequeña Omara el conocimiento del folklore tradicional de su país. Al igual que su hermana Haydee, Omara inició su trayectoria artística como bailarina del famoso Ballet Tropicana; sin embargo, pronto comenzaron a reunirse asiduamente con personalidades de la talla de César Portillo de la Luz (autor de “Contigo en la distancia”), José Antonio Méndez y el pianista Frank Emilio Flynn para interpretar música cubana con fuertes influencias de bossa nova y jazz, lo que luego sería denominado feeling (sentimiento). No hay bella melodía En que no surjas tú Y no puedo escucharla Si no la escuchas tú Y es que te has convertido En parte de mi alma Ya nada me conforma Si no estás tú también Más allá de tus manos Del sol y las estrellas Contigo en la distancia Amada mía estoy. (Fragmento de “Contigo en la distancia”). Su primera aventura musical como voz femenina tuvo lugar en el grupo Lokibambia, donde conoce a la cantante Elena Burke, quien introduce a Omara Portuondo en el Cuarteto de Orlando de la Rosa (agrupación con la que recorre Estados Unidos en una gira que duró alrededor de seis meses).

  • Changuito, El Misterioso
    Changuito, el misterioso Rafael Lam | Maqueta Sergio Berrocal Jr. En Cuba han existido, entre muchos, otros percusionistas que residieron en el exterior, muchas estrellas: Mongo Santamaría, el Patato Valdés, Orestes Vilató, Candito Camero, Walfredo de los Reyes, Carlos Vidal Bolado. Pero, en La Habana, hay que hablar de tres percusionistas de marca mayor, de grandes ligas: Chano Pozo, rey de las congas; Tata Guines, estrella de la tumbadora y José Luis Quintana “Changuito”, rey de las pailas. Changuito cumplió años el 18 de enero, no hubo fiesta grande, unas cervezas heladas (frías) y masitas de cerdo. El pailero mayor pasó la raya de los sesenta años de vida profesional. Cuando se hable de Premio Nacional de la Música, hay que recordar a los grandes. Changuito, ¿dónde comenzaste en la música? Empiezo a tocar influido por el ambiente en mi casa, mi papá era músico y ya a los cinco años yo estaba metido en la percusión, también me ayudó mucho Roberto Sánchez Calderín, formaba piquetes con mis amigos, estuve en el grupo Cabeza de Perro, y ya en 1956 responsablemente sustituía a mi padre en la orquesta del cabaret Tropicana y en la Orquesta Habana Jazz. Cuando aquello se empezaba temprano. Le hice una suplencia a mi padre en el cabaret Tropicana. ¿Después de esas experiencias qué hiciste en todos estos años, antes de 1959? Estuve trabajando con la Orquesta de Gilberto Valdés, Quinteto José Tomé, Artemisa Souvenir, Habana Rítmica 7. ¿A partir de 1959 qué haces? Comencé con el grupo Los Bucaneros que, en aquellos tiempos tenía mucha aceptación del público joven.
