Latin Jazz This Week (6/7/10 – 6/13/10)
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.
New York’s WYNC continues their on-going outstanding coverage of all types of jazz with a new episode of Soundcheck Sessions that focuses upon Colombian harpist Edmar Castaneda. In a quick write-up, Marlon Bishop covers some of Castaneda’s history and his combination of jazz, Colombian rhythms, and the harp. You can also stream a track from his latest album, Entre Cuerdas. You can read the article HERE. It also refers back to a recent performance by Castaneda on Soundcheck, which you can find HERE.
Jazz At Lincoln Center recently featured the music of Brazilian composer Moacir Santos in a high profile concert at the Rose Theater, featuring saxophonist Zé Nogueira, trombonist Luis Bonilla, guitarist Mario Adnet, and more. For those of us not lucky enough to be in New York during that weekend, New York Times music journalist Ben Ratcliff offered his thoughts on Santos’ legacy and the concert itself. It’s an insightful article that presents some thought-provoking tidbits about Santos. You can check it out HERE.
Trumpet player Gabriel Alegria and his Afro-Peruvian Jazz Sextet will be releasing Pucusana independently and they are currently fronting a fund raising drive to support the promotion and distribution of the album. The group will be utilizing a unique fundraising site, Kickstarter, as the home base for their efforts. You can head over and donate as little as $10 to their cause – or as much as you’d like. Each level of contribution comes with an attached reward, ranging from unreleased recordings to a personal concert from the sextet. At this point, there’s a little over a month left so don’t delay! It’s a great way to support the growth of Afro-Peruvian Jazz, so head over to Alegria’s Kickstarter site and donate now!
