Manante In The Listening Center
Need to spice up the Latin Jazz playlist on your iPod? Listened to the same Latin Jazz album so many times that you can sing every solo in your sleep? Looking for some new Latin Jazz to awaken that hidden inspiration but don’t know where to start? Well, that’s why we’re here, so look no further. Just head over to the LJC Listening Center and download some new music – for free!
Recent Spotlight Artists Manante have provided a free MP3 download of the track “Frutas Para El Desayuno” from their album Para Los Engreidos. This track features all of the great elements that make Para Los Engreidos an essential listen. There’s fluid and bluesy piano playing from Pepe Cespedes, as well as melodically intriguing improvisations from bassist Noel Marambio. Leonardo “Gigio” Parodi really stands out with his mixture of drum kit and Peruvian percussion that comes together as one unified sound. This track presents the group’s overall concept that makes quick shifts between festejo, swing, and a chaotic mixture that implies a fusion edge; they see all these styles with a broad perspective, bringing them together into a cohesive blend. Para Los Engreidos has a lot to offer, and you can get a good taste of it on “Frutas Para El Desayuno.”
So head over to the LJC Listening Center and download a copy of “Frutas Para El Desayuno” today. If you like what you hear, make sure that you support Manante by picking up a copy of Para Los Engreidos today! Don’t forget, you’ll find a wealth of great music there from other artists, including Edward Perez, Blue Mambo, The Craig Russo Latin Jazz Project, and more! Stop by today and check it out!

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect
Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer.
