| | Colors Of Latin Jazz: Mambo Mania! CD
While an individual artist may provide a good introduction to an unfamiliar genre, this approach is rather limited. A lone artist, no matter how talented, can only supply a partial understanding of a style. Another and perhaps more effective method is to listen to a collection like The Colors of Latin Jazz: Mambo Mania!, a collection of 11 mambos recorded for Concord Records. Listening to the album is a little like tuning into a good, hour-plus Latin radio program with no commercials. One can listen to an old pro like Tito Puente cut loose on "Ran Kan Kan," followed by Cal Tjader's innovative "Mambo Mindoro." The infectious rhythm of conguero Ray Barretto on "Ancestral Messages" precedes Hendrik Meurkens' remarkable harmonica work on "Mambo Inn." Although the origins of the mambo date back to the 1950s, these contemporary tunes, recorded between 1980 and 2001, attest to the continued vitality of Afro-Cuban jazz. Energy-wise, live pieces like Poncho Sanchez's "El Conguero" and "Co Co My My" seem to rise the highest, reveling in the crowd's exuberance. Two classics, "A Night in Tunisia" and "Caravan," receive lovely workouts from Arturo Sandoval/Claudio Roditi and the Caribbean Jazz Project, respectively. The Colors of Latin Jazz: Mambo Mania! provides a fine introduction to a vibrant form of Latin music. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr.

Colors Of Latin Jazz: Mambo Mania!
$14.79
The Blue Angel is the name of a bar in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where Hillbilly Night started. Hillbilly Night, where only songs older than 1965 can be played, was created to preserve old-fashioned country music. It meets every Monday, is still going strong, and celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2006. This recording was made in 1990 and remastered for CD in 2005. It features an all-star band of Hillbilly Night members, including the event's founder, Bob Fuller, on the doghouse bass. Craig Morrison is a Canadian musician, author, teacher, and ethnomusicologist who specializes in the roots of popular music. He sings, plays guitar, and, when not at Hillbilly Night, leads a roots rock band. They have a CD available at CDBABY: Live at the Oscar, by Craig Morrison & the Momentz. Morrison is the author of two books: Go Cat Go! Rockabilly Music and Its Makers, and American Popular Music: Rock and Roll. He teaches in the music department of Concordia University.

When these recordings were made, in 1990, it was being held at the Blue Angel on Drummond Street downtown. For the last decade or so, since the original location was taken over by a restaurant, it’s been held at the Wheel Club in Montreal’s N.D.G. (Notre Dame de Grace) district. It was started by Bob Fuller and is still run by him. Hillbilly Night is an internationally-known event that welcomes all who are in favor of or at least open to Old-Time Country Music. It is attended by the young and the old, the French and the English, the ladies and ...
