Latin jazz - the perfect combination of Latin rhythms and hot jazz phrasing - energises audiences like no other music. "Latin Jazz" traces the music's roots and routes, from the Caribbean to New Orleans and the clubs of New York City to its booming international popularity today. More than 100 rare photos from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s show musicians and audiences in full swing, along with dozens of album covers and posters from its heyday. Stories told by the greats who were there cover all the zest for life that has made the music so exciting for so many decades. With all text in English and Spanish, "Latin Jazz" is a spectacular and fitting tribute to this exciting musical fusion.
