Various Artists- Roots of Mambo 1930-50
(2-CD set) The Mambo - also known as Afro, Cubop or Latin Jazz - is the resulting union between Afro-Cuban music and American jazz. It extended from the swing era in the U.S. before evolving towards bebop. The lavish Mambo, bursting with cheer, induces an irresistible feeling of warmth and nostalgia for the dancing years forever associated with the genre. This collection features Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Dizzy Gillespie, James Moody, Manolo Castro, Mariano Merceron, Erskine Hawkins, Machito and others.
