Dizzy Gillespie "Calidoscopico" (1975)


From his 1975 album "Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods" John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie (October 21, 1917 January 6, 1993) was an American jazz trumpet player, bandleader, singer, and composer. Together with Charlie Parker, he was a major figure in the development of bebop and modern jazz. He taught and influenced many other musicians, including trumpeters Miles Davis, Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown, Arturo Sandoval, Lee Morgan, and Jon Faddis. In addition to featuring in the epochal moments in bebop, he was instrumental in founding Afro-Cuban jazz, the modern jazz version of what early-jazz pioneer Jelly Roll Morton referred to as the "Spanish Tinge". Gillespie was a trumpet virtuoso and gifted improviser, building on a virtuoso style but adding layers of harmonic complexity previously unknown in jazz. Dizzy's beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, his scat singing, his bent horn, pouched cheeks and his light-hearted personality were essential in popularizing bebop.

Afro-Cuban Jazz Project - Campina


Orlando Valle, known by the nickname Maraca, formed the Afro-Cuban Jazz Project after years of popularity in his native Havana as a respected jazz flute player. The group plays a curious blend of guaracha, bolero, and traditional jazz filtered through some of Cuba's most respected native players. The lineup has included singers Wilfredo Campa and Aramis Galindo, conga player Tata Guines, and tres (Cuban triple-string guitar) player Coto. Maraca's nine-piece band is one of the premiere Caribbean jazz combos of the late '90s. ~ Bradley Torreano,

Memorial and 95th birthday celebration for Graciela Pérez-Gutierrez at Saint Peter's Church (The Jazz Church) August 23rd, 2010 Recorded By John F Carrero www.salsamerengue.com Pete Nater : On the Graciela memorial controversy; Apparently Graciela's wishes were that there be music, but no singing, at her memorial. Musicians were invited to jam/sit in on the tune Ay Jose, but it was not mentioned that there should be no singing. There were no bad intentions but that ...should have been made clear, beforehand. It was unfortunate for Choco the way it played out. Choco, we still love you!

Chico Alvarez - La Clave, Maraca y Guiro


Album: Putumayo (2007) "Putumayo World Music continues its exploration into the sounds of the Latin diaspora by releasing its first jazz-focused collection. One of the most familiar jazz genres, Latin jazz has achieved global popularity since big bands in the 1940s and 50s started incorporating Afro-Cuban sounds into their arrangements. This mixture of Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz stylings comes together on Latin Jazz, a lively collection of songs by masters of the genre. Latin Jazz features legends Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri and others." www.putumayo.com Very, very nice song and amazing cover! Song ends about 7.27, not 9.59. Sorry for that, it's just a movie maker error, you know... just enjoy the music.

MACHITO AND HIS AFRO-CUBAN ORCHESTRA Bongo Fiesta.wmv


Machito (December 3, 1909 April 15, 1984), born Francisco Raúl Gutiérrez Grillo in Havana, Cuba, was an influential Latin jazz musician. Machito played a huge role in the history of Latin jazz. His bands of the 1940s, especially the band named the Afro-Cubans, were among the first to fuse Afro-Cuban rhythms with jazz improvisation. Machito was the front man, singer, conductor, and maraca player of the Afro-Cubans and its successors. Machito's brother-in-law Mario Bauza, the musical director, influenced Machito to hire jazz-oriented arrangers. The son of a cigar manufacturer, Machito became a professional musician in Cuba in his teens before he emigrated to America in 1937 as a vocalist with La Estrella Habanera. He worked with several Latin artists and orchestras in the late '30s, recording with the then-dominant Latin bandleader Xavier Cugat. After an earlier, aborted attempt to launch a band with Bauza, Machito founded the Afro-Cubans in 1940, taking on Bauza the following year as music director where he remained for 35 years. Machito's son Mario Grillo later took over the position. In 1983, he won a Grammy Award in the Best Latin Recording category for "Machito & His Salsa Big Band '82". More recently, the song "Mambo Mucho Mambo" has featured on the sound track for the game Grand Theft Auto Vice City. In 2005, the 1957 album Kenya was added to the list of albums in '1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die'. Machito died during a concert in London, England in 1984 <b>...</b>
