Summary of This Book
Titled Contemporary Salsa, this book brings together a broad panorama of Afro-Caribbean and Brazilian music, designed for instrumentalists who wish to explore essential repertoires and highly identifiable grooves. The selection is organized by major aesthetics to easily switch from one color to another and build a coherent practice progression: current salsa, Brazilian music, Latin jazz, then salsa "classics" and standards.
The contemporary salsa section highlights tracks associated with Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri, Rubén Blades, Fania All-Stars, Manny Oquendo and Libre, Puerto Rico All-Stars, NG La Banda, Irakere, Los Van Van, Issac Delgado, Louis Ramirez, and Conjunto Céspedes. It notably includes pieces like "Amor Artificial," "Palo Pa' Rumba," "Siembra," "Ran Kan Kan," and "Picadillo," perfect for working on energy, breaks, and typical call-and-response between the rhythm section and melody.
The Brazilian Music chapter then opens with essentials around Ivan Lins, Tom Jobim, Toninho Horta, João Bosco, Milton Nascimento, Airto, Leny Andrade, Egberto Gismonti, Djavan, Leila Pinheiro, Gal Costa, and Tania Maria, featuring tracks such as "So Danço Samba," "Retrato Em Branco E Prato," and "Flor De Lis." An excellent ground to refine timing, phrasing flexibility, and nuances specific to samba, bossa nova, and MPB aesthetics.
Finally, the Latin Jazz and Salsa Classics/Standards section gathers essential landmarks (Dizzy Gillespie, Mario Bauza, Cal Tjader, Chick Corea, etc.) and standards such as "Bésame Mucho," "Lágrimas Negras," "Frenesi," and "El Manisero." A valuable collection for developing improvisation, reading skills, and stylistic ease, while consolidating a repertoire immediately usable on stage.
