Meet Latin Jazz
Latin Jazz is a branch of the Jazz family, with its own performance and recording traditions.
The clearest way to understand Latin Jazz is to hear how its rhythm, timbre and performance language change across artists and recordings.
Begin with Poncho Sanchez, Gato Barbieri and Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass.
