Essential Elements Latin Jazz Method – Afro-Latin Grooves for Your Jazz Band
Latin Jazz: Where Swing Meets the Clave
When Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo brought Afro-Cuban rhythms into bebop with "Manteca" in the 1940s, they started one of the most exciting partnerships in jazz history. Latin jazz has been a fixed part of the big band and combo repertoire ever since. At its heart is the clave: piano montunos, bass lines and percussion lock together around it to create irresistible grooves. Classics such as Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va", Mongo Santamaría's "Afro Blue" and Jobim's "The Girl from Ipanema" are now standard repertoire. Publishers like Hal Leonard, Alfred and Sher Music shape much of the Latin jazz literature available today.
Eight Styles, Flexible Instrumentation
Developed by Michael Philip Mossman and Michele Fernández and published by Hal Leonard, this method takes you step by step through Cha-Cha-Chá, Bolero, Bossa Nova, Samba, Son Montuno, Mambo, Afro-Cuban 6/8 and Rumba. Each style comes with exercises, a complete chart and written sample solos. The approach makes even complex grooves easy for the rhythm section to learn. Flexible scoring for four horn parts plus rhythm section suits anything from a small combo to a full jazz band: trumpet, clarinet, saxophones, trombone, horn and tuba as well as guitar, bass, percussion, piano and drums. At Grade 3, the series is aimed at intermediate ensembles. Our Big Band section has music for beginners and for advanced bands too.
