Show for Sept 19, 2010: Mark Levine and the Art of Latin Jazz
Pianist Mark Levine jumped into Latin Jazz almost by accident 40 years ago. It became a lifelong pursuit, and Mark became a leading exponent of the music. He talks about his beginnings in the genre, his continued apprenticeship, his Latin Grammy-nominated tribute to Brazilian composer Moacir Santos and his performance at the 2010 Monterey Jazz Festival. He also explains some of the fundamentals of the form, like the clave rhythm.
