George Winston was among the earliest and most successful pro-
ponents of the genre of contemporary instrumental music later
dubbed "New Age". Growing up in Montana, the extreme seasonal
changes he experienced there greatly influenced the pastoral feel
of his music. Winston didn't take up music until after high school,
beginning with organ and electric piano and then moving to acous-
tic piano. Influenced by the stride piano of
Noel Freidline Group Fats Waller and Teddy Wilson, Winston

Worth -Jan. 18 leased his first solo piano effort, after which
he mysteriously retired from music for the
next several years. Discovering the music of the legendary New
Orleans R&B pianist Professor Longhair in 1979 was the epiphany
Winston was seeking to inspire a return to performing. Winston's
music continued to grow in popularity and influence in the years to
follow, but in typically enigmatic fashion, he virtually dropped from
sight for the remainder of the 1980's, resurfacing only in 1986 to
score a reading of "The Velveteen Rabbit" by actress Meryl Streep. Eric Allison's
Finally, in 1991, he returned to the recording studio. In 1996, Win- Dixieland Jazz Band

Dave Van Ronk
The early `60's music scene in
Greenwich Village produced a plethora of
artists that have gone on to become icons in
the folk and blues genres. Bob Dylan, Joni
Mitchell, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Phil Ochs
are all products of that era when they played
the smoky coffeehouses and bars of the vil-
lage for next to nothing. Urban blues leg-
end Dave Van Ronk paid his dues along-
side these superstars and has been a re-
spected name in the business for forty years.
With two dozen albums to his credit over the
span of those years, he is referred to as
"...the guitarist's guitarist", admittedly a cli-
che but one with qualifications. He's an origi-
nal writer with many tunes that are now stan-
dards for up and coming performers. Con-
versely, he takes old material and gives it a
Van Ronk twist that makes it his own. With
a voice that's been described as "...like
galvanized steel", Van Ronk puts new vi-
tality into these workhorses and gives
them new life. Now's your chance to see
Van Ronk perform if you're one of the few
people on the planet that aren't familiar with
his work. The Bamboo Room brings Van
Ronk to town for two nights on January 19th
and 20th.
Tickets available at our box office (9541344-5990 or any Ticketmaster location.

Becky Kilgore & Her Allstars
Jazzbeat Magazine says, "...Becky Kilgore is one of the finest
singers on the contemporary jazz scene..." and the Mississippi Rag
had this�to say; "Rebecca Kilgore's warm and swinging vocal inter -
Becky Kilgore pretations had the audience buzzing. Run, don't walk if you have a
January 16 chance to hear this lady." Now the Swing &
Boca Raton Jazz Preservation Society offers you just
such a chance when Becky appears at the Performing Arts Center
of the Spanish River Presbyterian Church on January 16th. Her clear
alto voice doesn't overwhelm, rather she uses it to show respect for
the lyric and melody, a quality all too often overlooked today. Becky's
credits list many heavyweights of jazz including Ken Peplowski, Scott
Hamilton, David Frishberg and Bucky Pizzarelli. For this date, she'll
be joined by an all-star lineup of Dan Barnett on cornet and trom-
bone, Brian Ogilvie on trumpet, bassist Phil Flanigan, pianist John
Sheridan, Eddie Erikson on guitar and Jeff Hamilton on drums.

Glenn Miller Orchestra
On January 20th the Coral Ridge Pres-
byterian Church will be offering a wonderful
day and night (two shows) of music in the
presentation of the great Glenn Miller Or-
chestra. Glenn Miller actually formed his
band in 1938, and at the height of its popu-
larity in 1942, he disbanded the organiza-
tion to volunteer for military service. He then
organized the famous Glenn Miller Army Air
Force Band. In December of 1944 Miller took
off in a single-engine plane to precede his
bFFrance, and was never seen again.
Be. I of popular demand, the Miller Es
tate authorized the formation of the present
Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1956. This group
is the most sought after big band in the world
today, and has been on the road more con-
tinuously than any other orchestra. They
travel over 100,000 miles a year for more
than 300 engagements. Under the direction

Dave Valentin Quartet
Dave Valentin, who has recorded over
15 albums for GRP, combines the influence
of pop, R&B, and Brazilian music with Latin -
jazz to create a slick and accessible form of
crossover jazz. At age nine, Valentin enjoyed
playing bongos and congas. He gigged at
Latin clubs in New York from age 12 and it
was not until he was 18 that he seriously
started studying flute. Valentin's teacher
Hubert Laws suggested that he not double
on saxophone because of his attractive
sound on the flute. In 1977 he made his re-
cording debut with Ricardo Marrero's group
and he was also on a Noel Pointer album.
Discovered by Dave Grusin and Larry
Rosen, Valentin was the first artist signed to
GRP and he has been a popular attraction
ever since. The South Florida Friends of Jazz
bring the Dave Valentin Quartet to Jazz at

- ;, Poncho Sanchez
The other headliner performing at the
Cachao performs at Miami Jazz Festival is the great Poncho
the 1st Miami Jazz Sanchez. From the time he joined vibra-
Festival - January 13 phonist Cal Tjader in 1975 until Tjader's
untimely passing in 1982, Poncho Sanchez
was an integral part of Tjader's unique brand of Latin jazz. He should,
in fact, be credited with providing the basic rhythms that comprised
the group's unique style. Since leading his first record date shortly
after Tjader's death, Sanchez has consistently gathered together
the most popular and influential Latin jazz bands to be found. The
youngest of 11 children, Sanchez taught himself to play guitar, flute,
drums, and timbales before settling on the congas. Sanchez con-
Poncho Sanchez at
tinues to maintain a very active schedule, playing in clubs, concerts

and festivals on a regular basis.

Keb' Mo'
Kevin Moore, AKA Keb' Mo', draws
heavily on the old-fashioned country blues
style of Robert Johnson, but keeps his sound
contemporary with touches of soul and folksy
storytelling. He writes much of his own mate-
rial and has applied his acoustic, electric, and
slide guitar skills to jazz and rock -oriented
music. He's toured with Papa John Creach
and played on three of Creach's albums.
Opening for jazz and rock artists such as the
Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jefferson Starship,
and Loggins & Messina helped broaden
Moore's horizons and musical abilities. He
released his self -titled debut album as Keb'
Mo' in 1994, featuring two Robert Johnson
covers and eleven songs that he either wrote
or co -wrote. Keb' Mo' performed a well -re -

Gipsy Kings
The vigorous strumming of multiple
acoustic guitars and the passionate vocals
of the Gipsy Kings have best been defined
by critics and fans as an exotic musical hy-
brid, "rumba flamenca". There are no other
examples of a non -English-speaking band
(the group, from the south of France, speaks
in the Gypsy dialect of Gitane) with such a
consistent winning streak in the United
States, where the group is the biggest sell-
ing French act ever. Ever since the 1987
release of the blockbuster single
"Bamboleo," from their platinum plus debut
album, the Gipsy Kings have dominated the
World Music charts and sold more than 13
million albums worldwide - more than 3 mil-
lion in the United States alone. The band
captured the #1 spot on Billboard's World
Music album chart with the gold certified Best
of Gipsy Kings, which remained on the chart
for more than a year. For several years run-
ning, the Gipsy Kings have been consistently
voted Billboard's #1 World Music Artist and
#1 Latin Pop Artist in the magazine's year-
end awards. Two recent PBS specials con-
tribute to the Gipsy Kings' ongoing success
story. A documentary, Tierra Gitana, which
aired on hundreds of public television sta-
tions in 1996, explores the band's roots in
gypsy culture and their rich family heritage
in flamenco music. Filmed in concert and in
the Gypsy camps of Arles, Tierra Gitana pro-
vides a glimpse at the vanishing lifestyle of
a vibrant and traditional people. A second
program, filmed in performance at Wash-
ington DC's Wolf Trap, captures the ex-
citement of the band's live show in a 60
minute special. The live special is cur-
rently in distribution to PBS stations
around the country. Miami's James L.
Knight Center presents the Gipsy Kings at
8pm on January 20th.

Miami Jazz Festival
For the first time ever, jazz artists are
being called together under the auspices of
a festival named simply for the city of Mi-
ami. Taking place on January 13 & 14 at
Bayfront Park in downtown Miami, this event
has no fancy names or corporate monikers,
just the Miami Jazz Festival. What better
place in the United States than this major
Pan-American capital of music and com-
merce to host a festival featuring a broad
range of performers covering the spectrum
from contemporary to Latin.
David Sanborn
Representing the contemporary is
David Sanborn, arguably the most recogniz-
able and influential player of the genre. In
his youth, Sanborn played with many Chi-
cago blues greats (including Albert King) and
became a skilled alto saxophonist despite a
battle with polio. After important stints with
Paul Butterfield (he played with the
Butterfield Blues Band at Woodstock) and
others, Sanborn began recording as a leader
in the mid -70's and subsequently racked up
a string of pop successes. Over the years
he has worked with many pop players but
made his biggest impact leading his own
danceable bands. For a couple of years in
the early '90's, Sanborn was the host of the

Reuben Hoch A The Chassidic Jazz Project
On January 23rd, the Broward Center for the Performing Arts will
present as part of its Arts Access Program, Reuben Hoch and the
Chassidic Jazz Project. Hoch grew up in South Brooklyn as an
Orthodox Jew and became familiar with the liturgical music of vari-
ous Chassidic sects. Choosing to become
Don Friedman a drummer, Hoch was greatly influenced by
For JAMS - Jan. 7 jazz great Art Blakey and, at 18, was lead-
BrowardCen. -Jan. 23 ing a group comprised of former Blakey
sidemen. Relocating to Israel in 1984, he
continued his jazz playing and began to compose with the Chassidic
genre having a strong influence in his work. He returned to the
S` in 1988, resuming a prolific performance and recording sched-
ul loch came to South Florida in 1996 and, in 1998, was com-
missioned by the Art and Culture Center of Hollywood to perform
jazz versions of Chassidic melodies in honor of the 50th Anniver-
sary of the Israeli state. This gave birth to the Chassidic Jazz Project Adam Nussbaum
as it exists today. The January 23rd performance at the Amaturo Van Dyke Cafe
Theater will feature guest artists Don Friedman, pianist for the leg- January 24

Adam Nussbaum
A very versatile drummer who generally
plays in advanced settings, Adam Nussbaum
is considered a major asset no matter where
he appears and is one of the finest jazz drum-
mers of the 1990's. Although he started on
piano, bass and alto, he eventually settled on
drums. Nussbaum studied at the Davis Cen-
ter and City College of New York, and by 1978
was making a strong impression in the jazz
world, playing regularly with both Dave
Liebman and John Scofield (1978-83). Other
important artists for whom he's provided the
beat through the years include Stan Getz, Gil
Evans, the George Gruntz Concert Jazz Band,
Gary Burton, Steve Swallow, Michael Brecker,
Don Grolnick, Sonny Rollins, Art Pepper, Joe
Henderson, John Abercrombie and Lee
Konitz. Nussbaum makes an appearance at
the Van Dyke Cafe on January 24th.

ing gospel groups until he moved to Chicago and discovered that
city's West Side blues sound. With practitioners such as Magic Sam,
Otis Rush and Luther Allison from which to learn, he soon made the
transition to blues and was a steady performer on Chicago's West
and South sides. For two decades, he was a well -kept secret, work -
inn and recording in Chicago. Then, in the
Eddy Clearwater late 70's, his break out came as the result

ture him on January 12th and the following night, on January 13th,
he's scheduled to perform at the Bamboo Room in Lake Worth.

Spyro Gyra - Jan. 13
Founded in 1974 by altoist Jay Beckenstein, Spyro Gyra has Sable Pines Park
consistently been one of the most commercially successful pop- Coconut Creek
jazz groups of the past 20 years. Although
originally a studio group,
the band became a full-time venture in 1979 and has been touring ever since. Audiences

A club owner who wanted to advertise an up-

Beckenstein for the group's name. The saxo-

in a college biology course. The owner mis-
spelled the word as Spyro Gyra and the name
stuck. Spyro Gyra independently funded and

of cooking with his passion for gutsy guitar playing and singing.
Wharton, who cooks up gumbo while on stage, is no flash in the
pan, nor is his live act meant as some kind of cheap gimmickry; he
is simply combining two things he's always loved to do: play music
and cook dinner. Known mostly for his live shows around Florida,
where he sells his own homemade Liquid Summer Hot Sauce,
Wharton has been fortunate in recent years to take his act to France,
Bill Wharton plays where he received rave reviews. By no means a straight -ahead blues
for MoCA in North player, the guitarist, singer and songwriter's
Miami on Jan. 26 recordings are a rootsy mix of blues, clas-
sic R&B and rockabilly-flavored tunes. While Wharton doesn't take

concert and has played duets with the older Pizzarelli on an occa-
sional basis ever since. He worked with Tony Monte's trio starting in
1986 and then in 1990 started his own solo career, usually heading
drumless trios. John Pizzarelli's voice has developed with time, dis-
playing both charm and self-effacing humor, and his regular group
is capable of playing swing tunes at rather
Buddy Miles rapid tempos. In 1997, he appeared in a
Ray's Downtown Broadway production of Johnny Mercer

Band. By the early'90's, Wilson was stepping
out on his own as a leader, issuing a series of
albums for the Criss Cross label. By the mid
'90's his work began to earn increasing criti-
cal praise and, in 1997 and 1998, he was
named in a Downbeat critics poll as a "talent
deserving wider recognition" for both soprano
and alto saxophone. Two projects in the late
'90's especially highlighted Wilson's strengths;
Avashai Cohen's 1998 album, "Adama", was
a beautiful exploration of Middle Eastern sen-
suality that often seemed hung on Wilson's
bright and flowing sax lines. His own 1999
project for Concord records, "Generations",
showed off Wilson's flexibility, by bringing to-
gether a multi -generational cast of players,
including Ben Riley, Ray Drummond and
Mulgrew Miller. His latest effort, "Passages",
appeared this year. The Duncan Theater in
Lake Worth is the venue for this concert on

Peter Appleyard
Peter Appleyard began his career as a
drummer with many of Great Britain's lead-
ing orchestras, but after relocating to Canada
in the early fifties and subsequently discov-
ering the music of George Shearing and vi-
braphonist Lionel Hampton, he switched to
the vibes. A fortuitous career decision, as
Peter has gone on to become one of the
world's foremost artists on that instrument.
During his long career, he has played virtu-
ally all the major jazz venues in North
America, Europe and Asia, performing
alongside artists of the caliber of Buddy
DeFranco, Herbie Mann and Ella Fitzgerald.
Appleyard is perhaps best known for his
eight-year association with the Benny
Goodman Sextet; an association that pro-
duced several recordings and numerous
tours, including one to Russia. Still living in
his adopted Canada, Peter is considered a
"national treasure" there and has been
awarded The Order of Canada in recogni-
tion of his international stature as a musi-
cian. The Greater Florida Jazz & Swing Club
presents "Jumping Vibes" with Peter and the
sextet on January 9th at Boca's Pinecrest

there was no one venue in which the city's veteran greats
could play. Then, in 1961, art dealer Larry Borenstein
opened a building he named Preservation Hall. A young
tuba player, Allan Jaffe, ran the hall and organized con-
certs and tours for the musicians who often performed
Preservation Hall Jazz Band there. Soon the band became known by the name of the
Coral Springs City Centre - Jan. 27 venue and despite many personnel changes over the en-
suing years remains the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. In
the early days the key musicians included, at various times, trumpeters
Kid Thomas Valentine, Punch Miller or De De Pierce; trombonists Louis
Nelson or Jim Robinson; clarinetists George Lewis, Albert Burbank or
Willie Humphrey; and pianists Joseph Robichaux, Billie Pierce or Sweet
Emma Barrett. Many of the original members have passed on but the
trace; -n continues of playing tunes and arrangements in the true New
Orl )style - probably the most authentic example of the sound exist-
ing today. For a taste of the music's beginnings, see the Preservation
Hall Jazz Band at the Coral Springs City Centre on January 27th.

ing to New York in 1958, Friedman played
in many settings including with his own trio,
Pepper Adams, Booker Little (recording with
him in 1961), the Jimmy Giuffre Three
(1964), a quartet with Attila Zoller, Chuck
Wayne's trio (1966-67), and by the end of
the decade, Clark Terry's big band. He has
continued working in New York as both ajazz
educator and a pianist with wide musical in-

classic rock to jazz. Their first jazz concert takes
place on January 28th and will feature the great
Nestor Torres.
Ten years ago Nestor Torres's career was
nearly ended when, during a race, he suffered
severe injuries in the collision of two high-per-
formance boats. It would take a year of heal-
ing to overcome the physical pain of the inju-
ries and the psychological trauma of not being
able to play. His comeback was proclaimed with
the 1991 release of the aptly titled album "Dance
of the Phoenix" and appearances with heavy-
weights of both the Latin and straight -ahead jazz
world. Coincidentally, he would join Gloria
Estefan on her "Mi Tiera" album. An interna-
tional tour, appearances at the 1994 Grammys,
the summer Olympics in Atlanta and the presi-
dential Inaugural Ball of 1997 have raised his
career to a new level. With the 1999 release of
his new Shanachie Records CD, "Treasures of
the Heart", Nestor has availed himself of the
opportunity to make a very personal statement
- music that has known pain but risen beyond
it to demonstrate the joy in celebrating life.
Deanna Witkowski
& Ira Sullivan
Pianist/composer/vocalist Deanna
Witkowski has been a finalist in jazz competi-
tions around the world and is now considered
among the best of the young performers on that
instrument. She led her own quintet at last
year's Kennedy Center Mary Lou Williams
Women in Jazz Festival. On January 30th,
she'll make her local debut for the Jazz Arts
Music Society of Palm Beach which is celebrat-
ing the first anniversary of their concert series.
Joining her on the bill will be South Florida jazz
legend Ira Sullivan. Ira is a world-renowned
jazz artist who has worked with all the heavy
hitters in jazz. Ira is also known for his
mentoring of young musicians and introduction
of young talent. This performance will be at the
new Harriet Himmel Gilman Theater at
CityPlace in West Palm Beach.

ably America's pop music; then into the frag-
mentation of the 50's and 60's when the mu-
sic reflected, as it so often does, the temper
of the times. Woven throughout the piece is
tribute to the late Louis Armstrong, the man
who is credited with single-handedly having
more influence on jazz than any other indi-
vidual. As Burns himself notes, "He is to mu-
sic in the twentieth century what Einstein was
to physics and the Wright Brothers are to
travel" The series is a celebration of our
contribution to the music arts. Uniquely Ameri-
can in its origins and referred to as "America's
only original art form", jazz is affectionately
examined in this journey across the country's
landscape divided by war, segregated by
race, united through swing and dance and
redeemed by this wonderful music. Truly a
must -see for any serious student of jazz.

The History
by Kathe & Dino Polizzi
On March 3rd, 1699, French explorers
landed at the point where the Mississippi River
meets the Gulf of Mexico. On that very day,
Mardi Gras was being celebrated as a major
holiday in France, so they christened the site
Point- du Mardi Gras. In so doing, they intro-
dE )o North America the festival that had
bee, ;elebrated in Paris since the middle ages.
Originally, Carnival was created as a period of
merriment that served as an annual prelude to
the penitential season of Lent.
By the late 1700's, annual celebrations
were being held in New Orleans and masked
balls flourished. Then in 1857 Comus was
formed, the organization that established sev-
eral new Mardi Gras traditions, including the

formation of individual krewes that presented
floats and costume balls. Many of their names
were inspired by the colorful world of Greek,
Roman, and Egyptian mythology which often
extended into the theme for their events. The
themes continue to range from the ridiculous
to the sublime, and carried over into the de-
sign of their floats and masquerade balls.
Rex was crowned king in 1872, and he
immediately became the international symbol
for Mardi Gras. Under his rule the practice of
tossing trinkets to the parade crowd was initi-
ated in 1921, a throwback to a number of age-
old traditions. The practice introduced a new
level of interaction with the bystanders and has
always been wildly successful.
In 1935 the City of Hollywood founded
their own version of Mardi Gras, named Fiesta
Tropicale, for the purpose of entertaining resi-
dents and attracting northern visitors. The
event was promoted throughout the country
and grew to enormous proportions, drawing
upward to 100,000 people and 150 parade
entrees by the 60's. However, due to the death
of its major organizer and the impact of the
Vietnam War, Fiesta Tropicale faded away in
1966, not to be resurrected again until 1998.
Although Fiesta Tropicale 2001 doesn't
take place until next month (Feb. 23-25), South
Florida's season of Mardi Gras kicks off with a
series of krewe balls. The Carnival season of-
ficially begins on January 6th, the twelfth night
(feast of Epiphany) and ends on Fat Tuesday,
the day before Lent in which fasting replaces
feasting. The first ball, the Masker's Ball, will
take place on the 6th at the Seminole Okalee
Indian Village in Hollywood and will feature
Dwayne Dopsie & The Zydeco Hellraisers.
Subsequent krewe balls include Neptune's Ball
(Jan. 13), Mardi Gras Red Hot Ball (Jan. 19),
Black Light Zydeco Ball (Jan. 20), Krewe of
Merlin Lawn Party (Jan. 28), Bacchus Ball (Feb.
3), and the Pet de Kat Krewe Masquerade Ball
which takes place the weekend prior to Fiesta
Tropicale. See pages 30 & 31 for more info.

mantic ballads known as "Boleros".
Edwin Bonilla, congas, timbales and all
other percussion, born in Santurce, Puerto
Rico is a local and national treasure that has
contributed to a broad spectrum of projects
by a variety of artists, including Gloria
Estefan, Quincy Jones, Andrew Lloyd
Webber's "Evita", Stevie Wonder, and Arturo
Sandoval, just to name a few.
Ludwig Alfonso, also born in Havana,
Cuba, is another product of the F.I.U. jazz
studies program that gives him the neces-
sary feel for the "cooking " styles of modern
jazz.
Arturo Campa, the producer of the band,
is as much a contributor to the excellence of
the final product as any of the musicians.
His contribution comes from the experience
gained from years of performing as a vocal-

Their first CD, "Authenticity", released
in 1999, consisted of all original composi-
tions coming from Eddie "Gua Gua" Rivera,
Fernando Diez, and Jorge Sosa. Sosa's
tunes, "Osa Mayor" and "Habana/Josecha",
proved to be the most played selections on
the jazz and Latin music radio station, WDNA
in Miami. The latest CD from the band,
"Bridges Crossed", has been in release since
June of 2000 and so far it is selling at twice
the pace of the first CD. Both are available
at Blue Note Records in Miami, Peaches,

creativity of American jazz.
It is gratifying to see that "Latin jazz" is
still growing and going forward in the work
of the appropriately named Miami -based
ensemble, "The Latin Jazz Crew". This
group of world-class musicians came to-
gether under the guidance of producer Arturo
Campa, with the goal in mind of producing
new original music that would carry authen-
tic Latin Jazz forward into the next century.
The century has gotten off to a good start
for the band, as evidenced by the positive
reception for their current release and the
concert performance scheduled on January
19th at Miami's premiere entertainment ad-
dress, the Tropigala Night Club, located at
444 Collins Avenue on Miami Beach. The
Tropigala is famous for its "Old Havana" style
dinner, dancing, and floor show presenta-
tion which culminates with the performance
of the featured artist or band. This concert
will also mark the kick-off of a world tour
which is in the planning and contract sign-
ing stage as of this writing.
The band members represent the di-
verse roots and experience of the music.
Eddie "Gua Gua" Rivera, bass and music
director, born in the Bronx, New York, earned
his nickname (which means "bus" in New
Yorican Spanish) when he was seen emerg-
ing from a steamy shower by band mates
and seemed to resemble a large bus sur-
rounded by smoke. The nickname, like many
in jazz and Latin music, stuck, and it has
served to distinguish him from any other
Eddie Rivera that might come along. "Gua
Gua" is also distinguished by his mastery of
all of the complex rhythms of Latin music
and the swinging requirements of the jazz
idiom.
Jorge L. Sosa, piano, born in
Guantanamo, Cuba, was trained at the
Instituto National de Havana, where he was
taught the skills and techniques of playing
and composing that have contributed to the
authentic sound of the ensemble.
Fernando Diez, tenor and soprano
saxophone and flute, born in Havana, Cuba,
a graduate of F.W.'s jazz program, comes
to the band with an impressive grasp of the
jazz side of the family but he also has the
Latin side covered in his genes, as he is the
grandson of the great singer "Barbarito" Diez,

Pushing the Music Forward
Into the Next Century
By Michael Mattox
The music style known as "Latin Jazz" is not
a new thing, it has been growing and flourish-
ing in America for more then sixty years. It started from tropical seeds planted in the cold
streets of New York carried there by musicians from the islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico -
musicians that were trained in the European classics, the traditional folkloric and dance
music of their home lands, and musicians that felt the percussive pulse of Africa beating in
their hearts. These musicians came to the big cities of North America back in the 30's and
40's and found the American art form of jazz. People like trumpet player Mario Bauza joined
Cab Calloway's band and as a result introduced jazz great "Dizzy" Gillespie to the rhythms
and chord structure of Afro-Cuban music, and trombone player Juan Tisol in the Duke Ellington
orchestra who composed "Caravan". The joining of these two art forms produced the equally
strong offspring called "Latin Jazz". Over the years the "child" of that union has grown into a
healthy, creative force in American culture, fusing the already unique blend of the African
and Hispanic musical flavors found in the Caribbean with the blues based improvisational
