during the summer of 1929 a what was 90
years ago a 28 year old trombone player
unknown from a Caribbean island reports
to rehearsal with a pre karate strike
I’m being pretty good who happened to be
playing in Washington DC just like
thousands or hundreds of thousands of
decisions that the minister of her
furniture however unbeknownst to that
musician the band members and even the
bands here that day would change the
jazz musical landscape forever 1929 in
more ways than one
jazz in the 1920s 30s and 40s was about
swing bebop where it’s known today that
American jazz standards think Frank
Sinatra Tony Bennett who played I’d like
to add that was about to change as well
the Latin influence of that one
individual forever change very quietly
the jazz world almost 90 years ago
ground was broken and the way was paid
for musicians from Latin America and the
Caribbean to join America’s gasps see
the road obviously was not gonna be an
easy one to travel but there was no
turning back before post-world War two
Latin music stars like Francisco would
be a degree you better known as machito
here headed by New York and Juilliard
train bandleader and percussionist Tito
Puente human Damaso Ferris Prado who
found fame while I listen to Mexico or
coracle natives are one for Rico native
people Rodriguez Elinor me darlin don’t
forget about one a la mina llamo es que
nunca poisoning all village everybody
knows that song with a you speak spanish
or not
this individual his rhythms compositions
and arrangements shaped and came to
influence American jazz artists such as
team captain Charlie Parker Dizzy
Gillespie just to name
[Music]
[Music]
this individual created an incredible
repertoire music that wasn’t foul
embrace my advices embrace change and
diversity of thought I’m not saying
don’t don’t misunderstand me I’m not
saying he’s the father of Latin jazz
he’s probably an uncle as well what I’m
saying is that what he did was
influenced the influences and forever
change the jazz concept for the concept
of jazz music in our great city and
throughout the United States we’re
experiencing an explosion of different
music Johnny’s
mind you I’m only focusing on library
madness but our city has they have
accepted and attracted musicians from
all over the world brought to us by the
impact of social economic and political
immigration decisions from Mexico Puerto
Rico
whoo Dominican Republic Venezuela Panama
Colombia Brazil just named as much as
our city loves our mariachis cumbia
bolero Tejano music this cultural
Renaissance has allowed us musicians as
well as the audience to appreciate and
accept alternative music genres
different stuff
like like jazz salsa bring it on you
like it
merengue bachata
holder’s I go back to that one unknown
