Podcasts about Latin jazz

Roger Glenn is truly one of the most interesting people in the world of music.  He is a multi-instrumentalist who has performed, recorded and toured with a Who's  Who list of Jazz and Latin Jazz luminaries.   As our conversation came to a close, it became clear that we simply could not tell Roger's story without making it in two parts. So, Part 1 was about Roger's backstory. To call him multi-faceted and unique is an understatement.  Interestingly, before I started production of Part 2, we had the serendipitous privilege of spending time with Roger at Keys Jazz Bistro during a quick trip to San Francisco, and it brought our Part 1 episode full circle. Meeting  Roger in person proved to be everything I thought it would be. He was gracious, funny, a marvelous storyteller and thoroughly engaging - all the attributes I was delighted to experience when we recorded our interview via Zoom. Now, in  Part 2, we shift gears to talk about his latest release as a leader. The album, called ‘My Latin Heart,' is out now on the Patois Records label.  The most remarkable thing about it, besides the incredible music, is the fact that for this 80-year-old musician it is only his second album as the front man in 49 + years.

A jazz legend revealed - Раскрыта легенда джаза - гласит надпись на обложке альбома. Легендарный мультиинструменталист Roger Glenn - яркая, но малоизвестная фигура в джазе и латиноамериканской музыке, выпустил альбом My Latin Heart - Мое латинское сердце. Этот альбом знаменует его возвращение в качестве бэндлидера спустя почти пятьдесят лет. Его уникальный талант владения более 18-ти инструментами и вокалом, есть на записях с величайшими именами в мире музыки: Кэлом Тьядером, Мэри Лу Уильямс, Монго Сантамарией, оркестром Каунта Бэйси, Дональдом Бёрдом, Херби Манном, Диззи Гиллеспи, Тадж-Махалом и многими другими. Тем не менее, за исключением своего культового альбома 1976 года Reachin', Гленн редко оказывался в центре внимания и до сих пор у него не было возможности сделать свою запись.Наконец ему удалось собрать замечательный коллектив и в год своего 80-летия выпустить альбом, который сделал взрыв афро-карибского и бразильского джаза, а так же раскрыл весь спектр богатого музыкального опыта и видения. Восемь оригиналов подобраны как рестроспектива и звучат ярко, современно, полны жизни и танцев. Альбом одновременно подводит итог его музыкальной жизни и открывает новую главу со своими собратьями - музыкантами, ветеранами высшего эшелона джаза (все имена в посте ниже). Мне лично очень хочется продолжения этого праздника!С альбомом My Latin Heart Роджер Гленн доказывает, что отличная музыка не имеет возраста. Это не просто давно ожидаемый проект лидера - это один из самых захватывающих релизов латинского джаза в этом году. Это подарок от мастера-музыканта, наконец-то рассказывающего свою собственную историю. Он чтит традиции, одновременно утверждает собственный голос, как артист, который всю жизнь обогащал музыку других, и наконец сделал свой собственным шедевр.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1825022042RAY OBIEDO - https://t.me/discor/7081Pete Escovedo - https://t.me/discor/6911Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

The world lost an icon when Latin jazz pioneer Eddie Palmieri died last month. His music lives on through recordings, but also through sheet music, thanks in part to a publisher in rural California. This pioneer has helped make the work of Palmieri and other Latin jazz artists available to the world, from his home office in Madera.

Join bassist, composer, and arranger Saúl Sierra and his quintet at the 35th San Jose Jazz Summer Fest on Sunday, August 10, at 1 PM at the Montgomery Theater in Downtown San Jose for a performance that combines Saúl's roots in Mexico City, the rhythms of Latin America, and the soul of jazz.In this conversation, Saúl Sierra discusses his upbringing, the power of rhythm to communicate across borders, and how improvisation keeps his music fresh, rooted in tradition, and free. With material already brewing for two more albums, Saúl remains committed to honoring tradition while expanding its possibilities through music.Born and raised in Mexico City, Saúl's early musical education wasn't found in conservatories—it was shaped by the city. He first picked up the upright bass before switching to electric to play rock en Español and rock covers with local bands. His interests evolved toward Latin music, which was hugely popular in Mexico City, encompassing Cuban, Caribbean, and folkloric styles that would later become an integral part of his artistic voice. Saúl returned to the acoustic upright bass while studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston.Since moving to the Bay Area after graduating in 1999, Saúl has been ingrained in the Latin jazz scene. A member and co-founder of bands like Vission Latina and El Tren Trio, his collaborators include Carlos Caro (percussion), Julio Perez (percussion), and Marco Díaz (piano/trumpet) —musicians who also perform on his most recent album, Caminos. With experience teaching Latin Jazz and music, Saúl also cites teaching as a source of creative inspiration, deepening his interest in cross-cultural storytelling through sound. His new album, Caminos, supported by a 2022 InterMusic SF musical grant, showcases diverse Pan-American rhythms and blends jazz with folkloric traditions across the Americas.Creating Caminos was a deeply collaborative process. Saúl laid down bass tracks, then worked with his ensemble, encouraging both structure and spontaneity. While guiding collaborators on his vision of the compositions, Saúl also allowed freedom for personal expression. Ultimately, he believed gathering contributions from diverse musicians would strengthen the tone, rhythm, and authenticity of the project. Whether recording a Cuban changüí with seamless 4/4 to 5/4 transitions or grappling with the complex rhythmic structure of Mexican Son Jarocho, each track reflects a lifetime of listening, learning, and letting go.Caminos draws influence from rhythms like Venezuelan merengue in ⅝, Joropo, and Peruvian festejo and landó, comparing them to Mexican traditions in both timing and harmonic tension. While he continues to rehearse and adapt Caminos for live quintet performances based on the energy of the performance, Saúl's musical vision extends far beyond this album, incorporating pieces from Caminos into different sets. As a bassist, he believes it is his role to provide the nuanced foundation that allows these diverse styles to shine.Follow Saúl's journey on Instagram @saulsierramusic and experience his vibrant sound at the 35th San Jose Jazz Summer Fest @sanjosejazz on August 10, at summerfest.sanjosejazz.org.Content Black Backdrop PerformanceBassist Saúl Sierra joins us in the Content Black Backdrop Studio to perform a few samples from his most recent album, Caminos.

When Arturo O'Farrill was 19 years old, playing piano in a bar in upstate New York, he was spotted by Carla Bley—who promptly invited him to join her band. At the time, he was doing everything he could to distance himself from the legacy of his father, the legendary Cuban composer Chico O'Farrill. He avoided anything labeled “Latin” like his life depended on it. But as he tells it, the real turning point came when bassist Andy Gonzalez sat him down and played him the history of Afro Latin music. Arturo realized that the music he'd rejected might actually be his greatest treasure—and more complex and profound than he'd ever imagined. Since then, Arturo has built an extraordinary body of work as a composer, bandleader, educator, and activist. From founding the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra to creating his nonprofit Belongo—now building a major cultural center in Harlem—he's dedicated his life to music that carries meaning. Not just swing, but sting. “You can pretend that music is pretty noise,” he says, “or you can think it's only to soothe. But I don't believe that's the purpose of art.” In our conversation, Arturo opens up about identity, legacy, faith, creativity, and the urgent role of art in a broken world. Sometimes a conversation doesn't just explore a person's life—it opens a window into their soul. This was one of those. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story

The Latin Soul Vibe combines Latin, funk, jazz and other styles into a refreshing new mix. The quartet plays at Crooners Supper Club in Fridley, Thursday April 17 from 6 till 7:30. When Mac Santiago talked to Phil Nusbaum about the group, Mac first addressed how The Latin Soul Vibe was formed. While Mac is best known for his drum set-based jazz drumming, the influence of his Puerto Rican father Luís, made Latin Jazz and conga drumming a needed passion to fulfill. The Latin Soul Vibe does just that.
