Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Piano |
||
|
This is my first book. While I was a student at Berklee School of Music, I became very interested in learning salsa and other styles from Cuba and Puerto Rico. I transcribed literally hundreds of piano montuno patterns from many great players, such as Eddie Palmieri, Papo Lucca, and Oscar Hernandez, to name a few. A few years later while teaching at Berklee, I started to organize hundreds of pages of that material which eventually became my first book, "Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Piano."
It contains about five hundred montuno patterns in 2/3 and 3/2 clave and goes through very useful chord progressions, such as I-IV-V-I and II-V-I and many others. It includes a CD which contains several of the examples, plus a few percussion tracks in 2/3 and 3/2 clave for individual practice. It also comes with midi files for every single of the five hundred examples. |

Salsa: Further Adventures in Afro Cuban Music |
 click to enlarge |
|
| In this salsa piano book, I decided to explore a number of chord progressions that were not addressed in my first book. I have included montunos starting on every chord tone in each of those progressions, as well as "Son Montuno" and "Guajira" piano patterns. As in the previous book, each of the examples are played in 2/3 and 3/2 clave. There are about two hundred fifty new montuno patterns. I have also included several arrangements that go anywhere from a salsa rhythm section to a large salsa ensemble with strings and brass section. In these arrangements, all the piano parts are transcribed note for note, and the piano parts are extracted. At the end of the book, I included a note for note transcription of all of the percussion parts that form the salsa rhythm section. This book also comes with a CD that includes several of the examples, plus a couple of percussion tracks in 2/3 and 3/2 clave for individual practice. It also comes with midi files for each of the individual examples as well as for the arrangements for small and large salsa ensembles. | ||

Salsa: Afro-Cuban Montunos for Guitar |
||
| While teaching at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood, I found that several of the guitar students were buying my piano books and working out the patterns themselves from the piano originals. This motivated me to work with guitar player David Medina, who worked out the tablature settings and the best guitar fingerings for each of the montuno patterns. We took every single montuno pattern of my previous two books and transcribed and optimized them for guitar. David later played and recorded the examples on acoustic guitar. These recordings appear in the CD that accompanies this book. |

Latin Jazz Piano, Vol. 1 |
 click to enlarge |
|
| I have always thought that my previous books were the result of years of research and learning. They represent the life-long work of study of a music student of Afro-Caribbean music. But this time I really wanted to do something more creative and decided to challenge myself as a player to see to what level I really had integrated all of this material. I have always been very attracted to the work of various Latino pianists, such as Papo Luca, Chucho Valdés, Michel Camilo, Eddie Palimieri, Emiliano Salvador, as well as many others in the area of jazz or more precisely "Latin Jazz." I decided to write a book that would contain each song in a different and authentic Afro-Caribbean style such as Salsa, Mambo, Nanigo, Cha Cha, Bolero, Songo, Merengue, and Baiao. Each selection has been beautifully recorded in the accompanying CD, and the book contains a note for note musical transcription of both the piano comping sections and the piano solos. Midi files of all eight recordings accompany this book. | ||
