<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Often called "Latin jazz" today, Afro-Cuban jazz dates back to 1947, when Cuban percussionist Chano Pozo joined Dizzy Gillespie's big band, helping to fuse bebop with Cuban folk music and rhythms. This book focuses on the jazz side of this irresistible musical mixture, covering such early figures as Tito Puente and Willie Bobo and today's leading artists. 50 photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Through anecdotal biographies and evocative photos, this book by jazz author extraordinaire Scott Yanow portrays every key Afro-Cuban Jazz innovator past and present, plus other jazz artists influenced by this infectious music.
