		He was shot twice in the stomach '43 in fight with a publisher's bodyguard over non-payment of royalties; recovered in expensive Havana hospital courtesy of Trinidad, though he continued to experience pain because surgery was unable to remove a bullet at the base of his spine.
		Pozo was shot to death in El Rio Bar and Grill by ex-US Army Corporal Eusebio 'El Cabito' Muñoz (a decorated WWII veteran), who worked as a numbers runner and marijuana dealer; the most likely motive was Cabito's machismo-driven revenge for public humiliation after Pozo physically assaulted him, claiming to have been sold weak dope.

		Días antes de su muerte Chano había puesto fin a una gira con la orquesta de Gillespie, que lo llevó por varias ciudades meridionales de los EE.
		Chano se quedó inmóvil un instante con los ojos fijos en el plato negro, mirando embebido cómo se enroscaba la aguja mágica que iba traduciendo en sonidos los compases de su última composición, de su «Manteca», el be-bop triunfal que lo había instalado en el pináculo de la fama vernácula neoyorquina.

		It has been asserted that Chano Pozo was rejected as a member because he was "too fl" to perform at certain Cuban venues.
		Jordi Pujol (writer of the book Chano Pozo: El Tambor De Cuba '01) cites Pozo's involvement in these Dec. '46/Jan. '47 recordings as evidence that it was more likely he relocated to NYC in Jan. '47 rather than May '46 as previously believed.

		Among some of Chano Pozo’s many compositions and collaborations in his all too short lifetime, (he was killed in 1948 in a bar fight in Harlem, just shy of his 34th birthday) he co-wrote the great ‘Manteca’ and ‘Tin Tin Deo’ with Dizzy Gillespie.
		Bassist Alex Blake has established himself as a drummer's bassist, and after becoming one of the major proponents of the fusion movement in the late 1970’s, he is considered to be an entire rhythm section on his own because of his range and ability to flow between melodic and extremely rhythmic playing.

		Not too Long ago, Leonardo Acosta --the Cuban executioner of many sacred cows-- wrote that "Chano is perhaps the only myth or legend that is shared by both rumberos and jazzistas." As usual, the world's greatest Cuban jazz musicologist is absolutely correct.
		How much of the legend is true is sometimes difficult to determine, but what truly counts is that Pozo was able to adjust his tumbadoras to the rhythmic patterns of bebop in an unprecedented manner.
		A relevant detail, by the way, has been ignored by many music historians: Pozo was already playing with the Havana-based Cuarteto de Jazz de Mario Santana before he moved to New York, where his alliance with Dizzy Gillespie (as everyone knows by now) would have an outstanding impact on the musical history of our planet.

		With the Joe Cuba Sextet's Jimmy Sabater on it, Tribute to Chano Pozo would have to be great, and it is. All but two tracks are absolute percussion killers as well as nice Latin pieces.
		Tribute to Chano Pozo is much more than a drum or tribute album; it should appeal to every generation of Latin-music fan.
		The two tracks to lose, however, are "Down to Basics," a group of short percussion tracks, and the samba "Sambala." Competent but gratuitous, they only detract from an otherwise stellar set.
