	Afro-Cuban jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Trombone Page of the World
		Afro-Cuban jazz is a combination of jazz improvising and rhythms from Cuba and Africa; it is also known as Latin Jazz although several of its practioners prefer the former term.
		Although virtually all jazz groups prior to the rise of bebop in the early to mid-'40s played for dancers, the term "dance bands" is used to describe orchestras of the 1920s and '30s whose primary function was to play background music for dancers rather than to serve as vehicles for jazz improvisations.
		Another important consideration is that journalists and jazz fans of the 1930s and 1940s drew distinctions between bands that conveyed the most hard-driving rhythmic qualities and frequent solo improvisations and those that conveyed less pronounced swing feeling and improvisation.

	Timba - New Styles in Afro-Cuban Popular Music
		Cuban popular music has influenced many styles of Western music, from orchestral works to ragtime, from jazz to top 40 music.
		Cuban musicians can belong to a group controlled by the state, as part of a group that had established itself as a quasi-independent company or as a free-lance musician for hire with groups or by impresarios from the outside.
		Cubans are offended by the fact that there music is compared to, and called, salsa which has suffered from these very attacks of the industry.

	Scott Yanow, Afro-Cuban Jazz
		Most of the great jazz performers in the various forms of jazz have created several pieces that fall within the style of Afro-Cuban jazz, and Yanow includes these recordings in his descriptions of their work.
		Afro-Cuban Jazz makes it clear that jazz, the first "world" music, is no easier to sort out than some of the more recent amalgamations of musical styles.
		Yanow gives a brief chronological sketch of Afro-Cuban jazz's development and then cuts to the biographical and CD evaluations, which are listed in alphabetical ordering.

	African American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hip hop, rock, RandB, funk, and other contemporary American musical forms evolved from blues, jazz, and gospel music, which themselves evolved from the spirituals sung by slaves.
		Malcolm X originally coined the term at an OAAU (Organization of Afro American Unity) meeting, saying something along the lines of "â¦you African Americansâ¦ because this is what you are, Africans in Americaâ¦"
		The term "African American" gained wide usage after 1988, when presidential candidate Jesse Jackson urged Americans to used the term to refer to black people.

	"A Brief History of Latin Jazz" by Luis Moreno
		In Cuban form, this improvisational approach is known as a descarga, and was evident in the sones played by septetos in the teens and twenties of the present century.
		Whereas JAZZ in the United States arose from black blues and spiritual traditions, in Cuba black musical traditions were preserved in the development of the syncretic religion known as santeria.
		Just as JAZZ was created by blacks who were generations removed from slavery, in New York something qualitatively new was created by musicians generationally as well as culturally removed from the land of Jose Martí.

	Latin Jazz Club - Mario Bauza and the Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra
		A tune that she used to performed with Machito, Graciela returns with "Biri Bi Kum Bi." In true Afro-Cuban Jazz vintage fashion, Bauzà and his orchestra end the set with a tribute to the famed conguero Chano Pozo titled "Pozo" featuring some poetic chanting from Rudy Calzado in the old Cuban religious tradition.
		It was April 27th, 1991, Mario and his orchestra was performing at New York's Synphony Space in celebration of his 80th birthday, when, according to Calzado, a man by the name of Götz Wörner of the famed record label Messidor Musik made his way backstage after the concert to Mario's dressing room.
		Wörner was so impressed with the performance that he asked Mario Bauza, "I want to record this band." And the rest is history.

	Afro-Cuban Jazz
		The road to contemporary Afro Cuban jazz runs through artists such as Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, Perez Prado and Machito, who in 1947 influenced such American jazz giants as Stan Kenton and Dizzy Gillespie.
		The next night I heard a different band, this one playing a horn-led fusion of Madagascaran, Cuban and jazz styles that was so infectious and captivating that half the audience got up and danced.
		Other Cuban jazz musicians such as Chico O'Farill, Cal Tjader, Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo, Arturo Sandoval and Chucho Valdez emerged to carry the music to new heights.

	SouthBendTribune.com: Gillespie lived a 'great gig'
		Dizzy Gillespie, the trumpeter who would forever become associated with the birth of bebop, acquired his nickname as a teenager when he prowled Philadelphia's saloons and jazz clubs toting a $15 horn in a paper bag while dressed in shaggy pin-stripe suits from a local thrift shop.
		The joke, of course, is that "Diz" was an innovator of intense focus and intellectual depth.
		The older musicians who affectionately applied the label couldn't have foreseen how apt it was -- that the wacky prodigy soon would be flicking spitballs behind the back of bandleader Cab Calloway and lighting matches between the toes of dozing band mates.

	Amazon.ca: Music: Kenya: Afro-Cuban Jazz
		Classic Afro-Cuban jazz albums are not so plentiful that any can escape being called "essential." By 1958 the idiom had lost its original spontaneity and excitement, but new life had come from the recording possibilities of high-fidelity stereo.
		Look for albums like Kenya: Afro-Cuban Jazz by subject:
		On the bata-drum-driven blues "Congo Mulence," Adderley and Newman create inspired solos off of the clave, highlighting the wonderful Afro-American and Afro-Cuban musical language Machito spoke and swung so well.

	Amazon.com: Music: Afro-Cuban Jazz Moods
		I have found that many people who are rock fans with little exposure to jazz respond well to the first piece on this album, and think that it is quite exciting and interesting.
		Latin Jazz has never gotten the credit it deserves (did you hear Ken Burns mention it?), and Chico O'Farrill is unjustly left off most lists of our greatest 20th Century composers.
		Especially as to the first piece (which was the entire 1st side of the vinyl album when it came out), the arrangement and performances are varied and exciting.

	Latin Jazz Club - New School Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra lead by Bobby Sanabria
		The Afro-Cuban Jazz tradition was born right here in NYC in 1940 with the Orchestra of Machito and his Afro-Cubans under Mario's baton.
		New School University's Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra conducted by Bobby Sanabria was joined by special guest artists renowned flautist Dave Valentin and conga legend Cándido Camero on Tuesday, March 18, 2003 at 7:00 p.m., at Tishman Auditorium, New School University, 66 West 12th Street, NYC.
		By 1952, Camero was hailed by New York Jazz critics as the greatest Cuban drummer to come to the U.S., since the spectacular Chano Pozo took New York by storm before being killed in 1948.

		Repressing a nation of millions for more than 40 years can't be simple, but repressing a nation that makes music as liberating and spirited as the sons, mambos and cha-chas of this 17-member jazz orchestra -- that must take hard work and a twisted kind of genius.

	Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio - Afro-Cuban Jazz
		Traditionally, the later Jazz sets, such as this was, are relaxed and improvisational, and I was not disappointed.
		This fusion of Jazz and Latin rhythms reminded me of Pablo Ziegler's recent performance at the Jazz Standard ( See Review) which exemplified the fusion of Jazz and Argentine Tango and of the recent review of the Django Reinhardt Festival ( See Birdland Review) that spoke of the fusion of Jazz and Gypsy Guitar.
		The pieces with Sanchez' wild saxophone were mostly progressive Jazz, while the pieces that focused on Rubalcaba's piano lead were performed in Latin Clave beat, or danceable Rhumbas, Cha-Cha's, Merengues, and Salsas.
