Description: Latin music - specifically, Brazilian, Cuban, Argentinean, and Mexican music - has been enormously influential on American jazz. However, until now no one has traced its impact or even recognized how enormously influential it has been throughout the entire history of jazz. This book traces, for the first time, the long history of interplay between these two rich musical traditions, shedding new light on the history of both styles.
