	Latin jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Latin jazz is the general term given to music that combines rhythms from African and Latin American countries with jazz harmonies from the United States.
		Latin Jazz originated in the late 1940s when Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton began to combine the rhythm section and structure of Afro-Cuban music, exemplified by Machito and his Afro-Cubans, with jazz instruments and solo improvisational ideas.
		Latin Jazz rarely employs a beat played in four, but uses a form of the clave.

	Jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jazz has roots in the combination of Western and African music traditions, including spirituals, blues and ragtime, stemming ultimately from West Africa, western Sahel, and New England's religious hymns and hillbilly music, as well as in European military band music.
		At the root of jazz is the blues, the folk music of former enslaved Africans in the U.S. South and their descendants, heavily influenced by West African cultural and musical traditions, that evolved as fl musicians migrated to the cities.
		Early jazz influences found their first mainstream expression in the marching band and dance band music of the day, which was the standard form of popular concert music at the turn of century.

	Harvie S - Composer - Educator - Bassist
		Sometimes, the Latin connection is boldly stated, as on the title tune, "Facil" and "Good News." More often than not, however, Harvie’s approach is subtle and sophisticated, as on "Before" and "From Now On," on which his the leader’s arco bass states the elegant melody.
		The supporting cast is sensational, from pianist Kelly, whose Latin and jazz chops are equally impressive, to percussionist Thoms, whose fiery rhythmic outbursts spark the group’s most energetic forays.
		It is Latin jazz fresh and crisp as spring tomatoes and cilantro.
