Jorge Dalto Roque Perez, Argentina, July 7 1948 New York, USA, October 27, 1987 Jorge Dalto was one of the great Argentine jazz musicians, especially recognized for having managed to establish himself in the United States as a prestigious pianist in the jazz and also in the salsa field. He died early, but he was able to develop his career in the 70s and 80s as a session player among the best and also as a soloist, releasing several beautiful LPs such as “Rendezvous”, “New York Nightline” and his debut: “Chévere”. Piano, rhodes, clavinet and Moog synthesizer are Jorge's vibe converters in a record that is enjoyed in micro dances of eyebrows, feet and fingers. Between winds and dreamy percussion, Dalto's keys make the listener float a few centimeters above the ground. Jorge was survived by his wife, the singer Adela Dalto. Remembering Jorge Dalto, one of the heroes of our musical genre, I invite you to learn more about the genius that surrounded this great musician, in this video with the Inter-American Band, made up of super stars in their instrumentation: Andy Gonzalez, Sal Cuevas, Sergio Brandao, Jose Mangual Sr., Carlos "Patato" Valdes, Buddy Williams, Artie Webb, Jose Neto, Nicky Marrero and Adela (vocal).

In the most recent issue of Modern Drummer Magazine, corresponding to this month of July 2024, we can read an interesting article by critic Mark Griffith entitled: "Blending Venezuelan Rhythms and Jazz Marlon Simon". Honoring the quality and career of the renowned Venezuelan drummer, who has rubbed shoulders with musicians like Jerry and Andy Gonzalez, and continues his feat with his band Nagual Spirits, with whom he recently released his wonderful album "On Different Paths" - Mr Griffith begins by writing: "Blending Jazz with the drumming of South America There is a long tradition of fantastic drummers who have created the Latin drum set tradition and applied it to the jazz lineage. It started with Guillermo Baretto and Walfredo de los…" Marlon belongs to the famous Simon dynasty along with his brothers Michael and Edward. Viva The Latin Jazz!! https://lnkd.in/gd7uYrxm
