| | Machito: Complete Columbia Masters |
| | Machito and Bauza started the Afro-Cubans in 1941, but swing music was still popular at the time and Latin music was not nearly as accepted as it came to be by 1950. | | | Puente had played percussion with Machito’s early 1940s band, and he too realized the power of the combination that Machito was creating; he had formed his own band and put even more polish on the arrangements. | | | The recordings heard on this collection were all recorded between 1951 and 1955, a period when Machito and His Afro-Cuban Orchestra were at their peak. |

| | Machito [+] played a huge role in the history of Latin jazz, for his bands of the 1940s were probably the first to achieve a fusion of powerful Afro-Cuban rhythms and jazz improvisation. | | | Playing regularly at New York's Palladium, Machito's band reached its peak of popularity during the mambo craze of the 1950s, survived the upheavals of the '60s and despite the loss of Bauza in 1976, continued to work frequently in the '60s, '70s, and early '80s when the term "salsa" came into use. | | | After an earlier aborted attempt to launch a band with Bauza, Machito [+] founded the Afro-Cubans in 1940, taking on Bauza the following year as music director where he remained for 35 years. |

| | In contrast to Machito's big band music, the soukous of Zairian guitarist Diblo Dibala and his band Matchatcha is like African acupuncture. | | | Grillo, the son of Frank "Machito" Grillo and nephew of Mario Bauza, is keeper of the flame for the original Latin fusion music to sweep across America. | | | The sharp, stinging notes from Dibala's guitar seem to prick the body with needlelike precision until the listener is forced to jump onto the dance floor in reaction to the music. |

| | Machito's band was also a stepping stone for numerous jazz musicians getting a start then, including Johnny Griffin, Cannonball Adderley, and Herbie Mann. | | | Machito scraped around for a few years, working mostly as a singer, with Noro Morales and Xavier Cugat among other, while Bauza served as musical director for Cab Calloway and Chick Webb. | | | Kenton called Machito the "greatest exponent of Afro-Cuban jazz" and even recorded a Latin-flavored number titled, "Machito." He and Machito shared the bill in a historic concert at Manhattan's Town Hall on January 24,1947. |

| | Machito's band, aside from being the first band to play Latin jazz, was also the first Latin band to play the famous Apollo Theater and Birdland Jazz Club in New York. | | | Note: Mario Bauzá always referred to it as Afro-Cuban jazz and would be outraged if anyone called it Latin jazz in his presence.) Naturally, with Dizzy's band, Chano went on to record the song "Manteca" which was a big hit with the American public. | | | We recorded a couple of albums, and did a National Tour, which included a show at the famous Birdland Jazz Club in New York, a stint in Las Vegas, and back to Hollywood to play at Zardi's. |

| | The heart and soul of the Machito Orchestra was Mario Bauza, the musical director. | | | During the second half of the 1940s, many jazz musicians entered Latin bands and many jazz band leaders started to include afro-cuban elements to their arrangements.This fusion led to the emergence of a new trend: Cubop. | | | These bands had a more direct Afro-Cuban sound than that of their predecessors. |

| | One of Machito's young percussion players from this time, Tito Puente, later took these innovations and polished them still further, but he was probably the only "name" musician to develop from the early 1940s-era bands. | | | The music of Machito's band became a major influence on Stan Kenton and Dizzy Gillespie, while other jazz players like Charlie Parker, Johnny Griffin, Herbie Mann, and Cannonball Adderley either played or recorded with Machito at one point in their careers. | | | By 1940 he had formed his own band, Machito's Afro-Cubans, and when his brother-in-law, Mario Bauzá, joined the group as musical director, the foundation for one of the greatest Latin bands of all time was laid. |

By 1958 the idiom had lost its original spontaneity and excitement, but new life had come from the recording possibilities of high-fidelity stereo. | | | On the bata-drum-driven blues "Congo Mulence," Adderley and Newman create inspired solos off of the clave, highlighting the wonderful Afro-American and Afro-Cuban musical language Machito spoke and swung so well. |

| | Machito is one of the most important referents of Latin Jazz, given that his band in the 40’s was probably one of the first to blend powerful Afro-Cuban rhythms with jazz improvisation. | | | This came about as a result of his musical director and brother-in-law, Mario Bauza’s insistence, who urged him to hire some of the best jazz soloists and make them a part of the band. | | | Machito was born Frank Paul Grillo on February 16 in 1912 in Havana. |
