How many of you like Latin Jazz? What is Latin Jazz? I think I know! It is really great percussion oriented Jazz. It incorporates that salsa sound, with that smooth Jazz. There are lots of examples of it in most music, but nothing like the real thing. The Afro-Cuban band of New York City was an example of it, my favorite was a Puerto Rican artist named Ricardo Morrerro. And the Cuban legend Mongo Santamaria. Also CANDIDO is Latin Jazz. Anyone out there know what I am talking about?

Latin Jazz is a great listen, it is smooth and easy. Yet you could dance to it if you wanted to. My favorite song was "Suavecito" by Malo, which featured Carlos Santana's brother Jorge Santana. 1972 on Warner Brothers! Check it out!

As a aficionado of Latin music and Jazz And Disco, let me tell you that the percussion is what makes all these musical styles special. The fusion was a natural progression. There are tons of that music. Remember Carlos Santana, OYE COMO VA was a great example of it!

Thats it Chulo! Thats what I am talking about! If you look at all the other videos that are on those YouTube pages, everyone can get an idea what Latin Jazz is all about! And there is more then just percussion. The violins, the bass, the horns. It all has such soul in this music. God I love this stuff! Excellent research Chulo. I am proud! Take that maricon!!

interesting topic.
what does qualify as latin jazz ?
2 examples of one track.
new york afternoon.one was done by rare silk.a great mid-tempo track.
the the other version i have by quassimodo ft yasuko agawa on vocals.fast uptempo with a strong latino feel.both must have tracks for me imo.
george duke ft flora purim on vocals-yana a mina.a more keyboard influenced track done in dukey's style.
what are your thoughts ?
ktf.

I would love to comment, but....I have never heard either track. Latin Jazz tends to have much percussion, heavy horns, fiddles, Spanish Guitar. Not necessarily all at once, not necessarily all of them. But one or more is a must. And, a little SALSA as well, thrown in.

i remember staying at gui's apartment in sao paula a few years back.i was on the balcony and i could hear this brasilian style latino music coming from one of the houses near by.just a guitar and some bongo's,and a whole heap of folks singing.
i was just chilling,having a beer and listening.didn't have a clue what they was saying  , but the way they sang.it was one of them moments to savour.

Oh Brazil!! I love the country, the people, the music, but the women most of all!! In Brazil, as in all Latin countries, all it takes is a little percussion and you have a party. Add a guitar, and it is a festival. Concerts are everywhere in South America and in the Caribe Islands. Every few blocks, in fact. Music is essential to their survival!! It is in the blood!!

when gui came over for a second visit,he bought his friend salada,he couldn't speak a word of english.but sang every word of loleatta holloway's - runaway-.
i think the brasilians use music in the same way as the rest of us.it's a place we can escape to.

In The BIG Apple, Latin Jazz thrives. Almost every club starts their nights, playing some. There are dozens of "clubs" that feature Latino greats jamming away all night. It is a very successful style of music. I personally, love the music, but don't like when they add vocals. I have no idea what they are singing about! LOL
