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.
Last week we featured Orlando “Maraca” Valle and the Monterey Latin Jazz All-Stars in our Weekly Latin Jazz Video Fix, taking a minute to talk about their performance last week in Havana. It seemed like a dream band with a group of incredible musicians - Maraca, Giovanni Hidalgo, David Sanchez, and more. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a show that LJC could cover directly, but fortunately, there’s a great post over at the Havana Times that covers the performance and includes some wonderful photographs. Check it out HERE.
Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen a wealth of recordings from Latin Jazz groups in every type of instrumental format from big band to combo. Undoubtedly the most popular format these days is the small group, a fact that Hector Aviles focuses upon over at Latino Web Cafe this week. His article “Small Groups Are The Big Thing” discusses the advantages of small group Latin Jazz - good thoughts, worth checking out. Find it HERE.
