http://www.areditions.com/machito-and-his-afro-cubans-selected-transcriptions-mu26-a078.html Machito (Francisco Raúl Grillo, 1909¿1984) and Mario Bauzá (1911¿1993) created the band Machito and his Afro-Cubans, which forged vital pan-African connections by fusing Afro-Cuban rhythms with modern jazz and by collaborating with major figures in the bebop movement. The transcriptions from Machito¿s recordings presented in this volume meticulously illustrate the improvised as well as scored vocal, reed, brass, and percussion parts of the music.
