Various. Visions of Music - World Jazz invites the viewer on a journey to the roots of music, introducing the enormous impact that traditional music from around the world has had on contemporary jazz. This program features legendary musicians such as BB King, Dino Saluzzi, Tito Puente, Carlos Santana, Zawinul Joe, Manu Dibango, Abdullah Ibrahim, as well as new generation representatives such as Nicholas Payton, Cyro Baptista, and Don Byron. In this episode of the Visions of Music series, Tito Puente explains the origins of Latin jazz, a trend founded in the '30s and' 40s by Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo. Gillespie has always been inspired by Latin music and tried to combine it with jazz. Tito Puente, nicknamed the "pope of music", traveled around the world to perform with Latin jazz musicians such as Gillepsie and Pozo. This American songwriter, musician, and producer played timpani and vibraphone. Thanks to Puente, it is now acceptable to play more than two timpani. Indeed, this innovative musician was often seen on stage with seven or eight timpani.
