Book Description
"A wonderful book. Sam Bardfeld's approach to teaching soloing along with being able to listen to examples of the masters of Afro-Cuban style on the violin sparked new and creative ideas in me. He presents a huge amount of material in a way that seems fun and lets you dive right in." - Regina Carter, jazz violinist and MacArthur "Genius" Award recipient"It's very satisfying that Sam Bardfeld's contribution to the texts on Latin music comes out of the gate so strongly. The historical context is wonderful, the information about the overall structure of the music is invaluable and a great place for the violinist to start, and the transcriptions are beautiful. Congratulations on a wonderful project that is going to fill a vacuum that is vast and fill it completely. I see no reason for there ever to be another book besides this one on Latin violin playing." - Matt Glaser, violinist, Chairman Emeritus, Strings Department, Berklee College of Music"This book is a welcome addition to the growing number of texts on Afro-Cuban based music. Sam opens the door for all violinists (and all instrumentalists) to this incredibly rich tradition in a clear, concise manner with a great deal of respect for its history. I recommend it highly." - Bobby Sanabria, 8x Grammy Nominee, percussionist, bandleader and educator"A very useful book for the violinist who wants to begin to understand the complexities and intricacies of Latin jazz music." - Mark Feldman, jazz violinist, composer, recording artist.Originally published in 2001, Sam Bardfeld's book Latin Violin is considered one of the classics of the creative/alternative strings literature. It's been out of print since 2014 and is finally getting re-released as an eBook. The music on the original accompanying CD can be accessed via a download link provided in the book. Latin Violin is useful for both professional and student violinists who want to learn something about playing violin in the Afro-Cuban tradition (aka "salsa" or "Latin music"). The book is in four sections and covers an historical overview of the role of the violin in Afro-Cuban music; how the music works; transcriptions and analyses of solos by the seminal violinists in the Afro-Cuban tradition; and an outline of the music featured on the accompanying CD. The CD includes famous Afro-Cuban violin solos and an extended play-along session. "Salsa, and Latin music in general, have been exploding in popularity since the late seventies and show no sign of slowing down. The violin has filled an intriguing role in this kind of music, and there are many great opportunities for string players playing this style, but there has been very little documentation on the style up until this book. One of the great things about the book is its powerful approach to context: Bardfeld managed to get the rights to important recordings of some of the originators of the style, and included them in a CD recording with the book. Historical information and painstakingly accurate transcriptions of those solos complete the picture. Discussions of Clave and other important features of Latin music make this book a must for any serious violinist, professional or amateur." - Darol Anger, violinist, educator, recording artist

Book Description
The ethnically and geographically heterogeneous countries that comprise Latin America have each produced music in unique styles and genres - but how and why have these disparate musical streams come to fall under the single category of "Latin American music"? Reconstructing how this category came to be, author Pablo Palomino tells the dynamic history of the modernization of musical practices in Latin America. He focuses on the intellectual, commercial, musicological, and diplomatic actors that spurred these changes in the region between the 1920s and the 1960s, offering a transnational story based on primary sources from countries in and outside of Latin America. The Invention of Latin American Music portrays music as the field where, for the first time, the cultural idea of Latin America disseminated through and beyond the region, connecting the culture and music of the region to the wider, global culture, promoting the now-established notion of Latin America as a single musical market. Palomino explores multiple interconnected narratives throughout, pairing popular and specialist traveling musicians, commercial investments and repertoires, unionization and musicology, and music pedagogy and Pan American diplomacy. Uncovering remarkable transnational networks far from a Western cultural center, The Invention of Latin American Music firmly asserts that the democratic legitimacy and massive reach of Latin American identity and modernization explain the spread and success of Latin American music.

Book Description
New York City has long been a generative nexus for the transnational Latin music scene. Currently, there is no other place in the Americas where such large numbers of people from throughout the Caribbean come together to make music. In this book, Benjamin Lapidus seeks to recognize all of those musicians under one mighty musical sound, especially those who have historically gone unnoticed. Based on archival research, oral histories, interviews, and musicological analysis, Lapidus examines how interethnic collaboration among musicians, composers, dancers, instrument builders, and music teachers in New York City set a standard for the study, creation, performance, and innovation of Latin music. Musicians specializing in Spanish Caribbean music in New York cultivated a sound that was grounded in tradition, including classical, jazz, and Spanish Caribbean folkloric music. For the first time, Lapidus studies this sound in detail and in its context. He offers a fresh understanding of how musicians made and formally transmitted Spanish Caribbean popular music in New York City from 1940 to 1990. Without diminishing the historical facts of segregation and racism the musicians experienced, Lapidus treats music as a unifying force. By giving recognition to those musicians who helped bridge the gap between cultural and musical backgrounds, he recognizes the impact of entire ethnic groups who helped change music in New York. The study of these individual musicians through interviews and musical transcriptions helps to characterize the specific and identifiable New York City Latin music aesthetic that has come to be emulated internationally.

Book Description
Due to the runaway success of the 100 Ultimate Blues Riffs, Andrew D. Gordon's latest book "100 Ultimate Jazz Riffs" consists of, as the title suggests, 100 Jazz riffs based on common chord progressions used in jazz such as the II-V-I, III-VI-II-V etc. There are five separate ections: Jazz Swing, Jazz Ballad, Jazz Funk, Jazz Waltz and Latin Jazz. Each musical example has a single note improvised melody line with the right hand and chord accompaniment with the left hand. At the end of the book there is the chord progression for the popular jazz standard "Blue Moon" showing you how to use various examples from the 100 riffs to create an improvised solo over the chord progression. By demonstrating this technique you can pick most jazz standards and create your own improvisational ideas using the book. The audio files are recorded with the right hand piano part on the right channel and the left hand piano part on the left channel (bass and drums on both channels) with most of the examples recorded at normal and slowed down tempos. An absolute must for musicians learning and playing various jazz styles.
