Remembering the late percussionist CHANO POZO, best known for his work with Dizzy Gillespie, born on this date in 1915. Chano Pozo & Dizzy Gillespie: MANTECA ***** Manteca is one of the earliest foundational tunes of Afro-Cuban jazz. Co-written by Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo and Gil Fuller in 1947, it is among the most famous of Gillespies recordings (along with the earlier A Night in Tunisia) and is one of the most important records ever made in the United States, according to Gary Giddins of the Village Voice. Manteca is the first tune rhythmically based on the clave to become a jazz standard. JAZZ Love
