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.
Hopefully everyone got a chance to check out last week’s episodes of Latin Music USA on PBS – Part 1 focused upon Latin Jazz and early mambo big bands while Part 2 dove into Fania era salsa. If you missed it, check out the Latin Music USA website, you can stream them there. Tonight, October 19th, you can check out parts 3 &4, where we’ll hear about Mexican American music & Latin Pop. So far, the documentary has been a great experience – don’t miss it tonight!
The new release from saxophonist Miguel Zenon inspired the dedicated folks over a NPR’s A Blog Supreme, driving them to dig deeper into plena. They paid Zenon a visit, asking him to explain the details and history of plena. You can hear a bit of the interview and some impressions from Josh Jackson in a good solid blog post HERE. In addition, NPR is streaming the complete album, Esta Plena, giving you a chance to dig deeper into Zenon’s great new work – head over HERE quickly this is an incredible must-hear release!
