| Synopsis: |
Latin jazz - the perfect combination of hot Latin rhythms and cool jazz phrasing - has the power to energize audiences like no other music. As part of the Smithsonian Institution's ongoing series of exhibitions on jazz, the Smithsonian has created an exhibition and book that focus just on Latin jazz. Latin Jazz traces the music's roots and routes, from the Caribbean to New Orleans and the clubs of New York City to its booming international popularity today. More than 100 rare photos show musicians and audiences in full swing, along are dozens of most significant and colorful album covers and posters of the day. Oral histories by such greats as Chucho Valdes and Cal Tjader bring the music alive, and contributions by musicians Andy Gonzalez and Al McKibbon help account for its legacy. With all text in both English and Spanish, Latin Jazz is the perfect tribute to this exciting musical fusion. Latin jazz is a combination of two musical traditions. The "Latin" in Latin jazz comes mainly from Caribbean dance music, with its powerful and complex rhythms. The "jazz" comes, of course, from that original American art form, one of the country's greatest contributions to world music.When you listen to Latin jazz, you might hear the rhythm of a mambo, son, or merengue merged with bebop or cool California jazz. Both Caribbean music and jazz share African as well as European roots, and together they form a musical fusion with a strong African heritage. |
