The Latin Jazz

Yesterday I met an old friend who invited me to listen to Jazz music. I myself not a fan of Jazz music, but on the type of Latin Jazz I am very interested, too. In casual conversations about the Jazz, my friend had a lot to share about his knowledge of jazz music. Very interesting, because in addition he was a big fan of Jazz music, he also lived a dozen years in New York to spend a lot of time enjoying the Jazz. This is part of sharingnya about Jazz music, especially of Latin Jazz.
Latin Jazz is a general term given to music that combines rhythms from African countries and Latin American countries with jazz and classical harmonies from Latin America, Caribbean, Europe and the United States.
Two main categories of Latin Jazz are Brazilian Jazz and Afro-Cuban.

Latin jazz music like most types of jazz music can be played in small or large groups. Small group or combo often uses the format "Be-bop" wrote popular in 1950s America. When the musicians play a standard melody a lot of these musicians to play improvised music solo and then each plays the melody again. In Latin jazz band, percussion solo more often seen, even more often the center of attention for his solo performances. Percussion solo on the Latin jazz is more structured than in the swing bands where the drum solo rare, but it feels more contemporary and conga or timbale elements can add a melody on his show.
Latin Jazz actually begins at the end of the 1940s when Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton began to combine the rhythm section (rhythm section) and the structure of the Afro-Cuban music such as by Machito and his Afro-Cubans with jazz instruments and solo improvisational ideas. Stan Kenton arranger released an Afro-Cuban style, "The Peanut Vendor" which is widely regarded as a Latin jazz album of the first, "the first authentic Latin Jazz recording.
In 1947 Dizzy Gillespie collaborated with Machito conga player Chano Pozo to perform the "Afro-Cuban Drums Suite" at Carnegie Hall. This concert brought in a respected Latin jazz mainstream. Pozo and Gillespie's band together finally managed to produce "Cubana Be, Cubana Bop".
