Episode 87 - Latin Jazz
Today we return to a theme that has been somewhat underrepresented on the show in recent times… I’m talking about the music of Cuba. Lately I have been sharing more music from the French West Indies, which has eaten up much of my bandwidth for music of the Caribbean. Cuba has been a bit neglected as a result, but today we have a full show devoted to the musical influence of Cuba, with a focus on sounds in the jazz spectrum. Some tracks will be like walking into a jazz club in Cuba…that is to say, they have a cool swing vibe... other tracks will be like seeing a Cuban performance at an international jazz festival because these songs bristle with experimental energy. No oldies on this episode; it is an all modern vibe today with music from the 70s through to modern day.
