Wes Montgomery - Full House (live 1965). Montgomery recorded this tune, which has become a #jazz standard, for his 1962 album of the same name. It oozes 60s cool and his style was a huge influence on later guitarists.

Hace 100 años, el 4 de noviembre de 1926, nació en el tradicional barrio habanero de Los Sitios, en Cuba, Carlos Valdés Galán, conocido mundialmente como ‘Patato’ Valdés, uno de los gigantes absolutos de la percusión afrocubana. Además de revolucionar la escena al convertirse en pionero en el uso simultáneo de tres congas, un hito que amplió drásticamente el horizonte melódico y rítmico del instrumento, su legado incluye un aporte técnico fundamental al participar de forma directa en el diseño y perfeccionamiento de las tumbadoras con llaves de afinación mecánica. Gracias a esta innovación, que desterró el viejo método de calentar los cueros al fuego, las congas pudieron entonarse con precisión milimétrica, permitiéndoles integrarse armónicamente con los pianos, los metales y el contrabajo.

Black Jazz Records was an independent record label founded in Oakland, California, in 1971 by pianist Gene Russell and Dick Schory. For a few short years, it gave Black artists room to make music that was spiritual and searching, rooted in the community and reaching past it. J
