Latin Jazz This Week
Latin Jazz This Week will bring you a weekly look into news from the Latin Jazz world. You’ll find new releases, recommended performances, web finds, and more. You can check out some current sounds in the Listening Center tab at the top of the page. Performance dates will be kept in the Live Latin Jazz tab at the top of the page.
Some figures in the Latin Jazz world make incredible contributions to the art form, but time seems to place them in the background, only known to the true connoisseurs of the music. So when they are recognized, it’s always a pleasant surprise. I recently ran across this website dedicated to the memory of legendary Latin music trombone player Barry Rogers, a longtime major member of Eddie Palmieri’s band. This page has links to a profile of Rogers, a discography, and more - it’s a fantastic resource about a musician that deserves much more attention. You can check it out HERE.
