Latin Jazz This Week (7/19/10 – 7/25/10)
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.
I’ve been noticing that our weekly Monday post has gotten to be quite long, so I’m going to make a little change. Starting next week, I’m trying a new format for Latin Jazz This Week. On Sunday you’ll get Latin Jazz News This Week, with news, new releases, birthdays, and more. On Monday we’ll have Live Latin Jazz This Week with all the gig listings for the week. Let me know how this sits with you, I just want to make a resource that works for everyone!
Over at The Latin Jazz Network, Raul da Gama posted an interview with Brazilian trumpet master Claudio Roditi, shining some light on the influential musician. There’s some insightful words here – da Gama has obviously followed Roditi’s career closely for many years – getting deeper into the man and his music. Roditi speaks about his initial forays into jazz, the recording of Brazilliance x4, and his recent release Simpatico. There’s a lot of good stuff in there, well worth checking out. You can read the full article HERE.
Conguero Poncho Sanchez will be holding court in Seattle this week, with several performances at Jazz Alley – you can get the details in the Live Latin Jazz Listings below. In anticipation of this event, Hector Aviles from Latino Web Cafe took some time to talk with Sanchez. Aviles discusses Poncho’s great arrangers, his love for Salsa, his current release Psychedelic Blues, ideas for future releases, and much more. It’s a good insight into Sanchez – you can read it HERE. You can also check out the LJC interview with Sanchez – follow through to Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
