NEWS
There’s still a few days left to win FREE TICKETS to see Eddie Palmieri perform live this Thursday night April 16th at SOB’s in New York. All you need to do is sign up to have LJC delivered to your e-mail account. You get all the great Latin Jazz info that you’ve come to love – it’s just delivered directly to your inbox . . . and you get a chance to win Eddie Palmieri tickets. For more info, go HERE. Good luck!

Latin Jazz vocalist Venissa Santí was recently signed to the Sunnyside Records label, allowing for a wider distribution of her outstanding release Bienvenida. I absolutely love this album, a fantastic vocal feature with some great musicians supporting Santí – you can check out the LJC review HERE. So, if you didn’t get a chance to hear this album the first time around, check it out as a Sunnyside release.

I recently ran across a new web home for legendary Latin Jazz pianist Hilton Ruiz. You can find information about his life, buy his recordings, check out some pictures, and more. It’s a great hang, and it let me know that there will be a new release with some of Ruiz’s unreleased material – Hilton’s Last Note, available May 29th, 2009. Check out the website HERE.

Another reminder – the Tutumaya Social Club, a club dedicated to Afro-Peruvian Jazz and cuisine will be opening in New York on April 28th. There’s some great people involved in this – their current artistic director is Afro-Peruvian Jazz trumpet player Gabriel Alegria. You’ll be able to hear plenty of great musicians performing at the club – their initial line-up includes Ingrid Jensen, Sofia Rei Koutosvitis, Pilar de la Hoz, and more. The club will be located at 164 East 56th Street in New York City. It sounds like a fantastic home for the music, so go out and support the club on their grand opening, April 28th.

Jazz 101: Become an True Aficionado

Last week, I put out the call and it was answered big time...

All That Jazz: In Celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month

I don’t talk about my love for jazz enough on this blog so I figure jazz appreciation month is the perfect time to do so. I have to admit that my knowledge is lacking. Mama Vivrant Thang was never really into jazz so it wasn’t played much around the house. She did love Kenny G though and [...]

The “Boys” Are Back In Town…

Remember the Four Brothers Beats blog? Well, the boys are back! BUT... not quite in the way you may have been expecting. It's, how shall we say, "the same, but different!"

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. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
