  • 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.

Chucho Valdés - Solo de piano Saturday, October 4, 2014 -The Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts 1 By Karen Brundage-Johnson, PhD. 2 By Karen Brundage-Johnson, PhD. 3 By Karen Brundage-Johnson, PhD. 4 By Karen Brundage-Johnson, PhD. 5 By Karen Brundage-Johnson, PhD. 6 By Karen Brundage-Johnson, PhD. 1 of 6 Next On Saturday, October 4th the legendary multi-Grammy Award winner Cuban pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader Chucho Valdés, performed an outstanding solo performance at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, located at the University of Pennsylvania. This performance marked the conclusion of his national tour. Chucho Valdés has been a key figure in the evolution of Afro-Cuban jazz for the past 50 years. Valdés played with amazing versatility on his original composition, “Mambo Influenciado” and the bolero “Esta Tarde Ví Llover” on which Valdés poured on some heavy Afro-Cuban rhythms. Valdés made us catch our breaths when he launched into Thelonious Monk’s “Blue Monk” first then into a lightning fast version of Chick Corea’s “Spain”. We could hear the reverberation of the piano strings. Valdes’ rhythmic ambidextrous technique added much excitement to the performance. At one point during a Frédéric Chopin composition, he plays Chopin-like with his left hand and simultaneously plays Latin rhythms with his right hand. Just as the beautiful lyricism of "Besame Mucho” he came back with “People” a Barbara Streisand tune that had the crowd smiling. Valdés mentioned that he was inspired by Duke Ellington and paid tribute featuring “A-Train” and an original composition entitled “Duke”.

At the age of sixteen, Lundy began her professional career in Miami, then moved to New York City in 1978 where she worked with numerous Jazz veterans. The following year, she made her first appearance on an album with a group called Jasmine; and, in 1980, formed her own group, performing with pianists John Hicks and Onaje Gumbs.
