The first book ever published on how to play the conga and bongo drum in jazz. This text is an essential tool for band teachers and drummers playing Latin Percussion in jazz with special emphasis on swing. Includes chapters on history, description, tuning, position/posture, notation, strokes, rhythms, etc. Complete with photos, interviews, music transcriptions and video links. This much-needed text fills a niche in the application of the conga and bongo drum in jazz. Special features include archival photos, a rare interview with legendary jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell, companion video with Candido and Bobby Sanabria and the most comprehensive discography ever complied on the use of conga and bongo drums in jazz with over 100 listings including Candido, Ray Barretto, Armando Peraza, Willie Bobo, Jack Costanzo, Luis Miranda, Patato Valdez, Willie Rodriguez, Tata Güines and many more.

I call this "4&"... Or maybe "SLAP!, 4&" ....But what's it really called? I guess this is 8th note stuff...
They have all these fancy names for Afro-Cuban rhythms... What are the beats we ACTUALLY USE called? For now I am just making up my own names for this stuff... IMHO
