Stevedore Stomp - Portena Jazz Band 1991

Stevedore Stomp - Portena Jazz Band 1991
At the Natal Jazz festival in north east Brasil a concert performance from the famous Portena Jazz Band.
It all started in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during the mid sixties: a group of well trained young musicians got together and started developing a band to perform Traditional Jazz based in the original African-American musical concepts first heard in New Orleans at the turn of the 20 th century, and later in Chicago and New York. This is how the (now legendary) PORTEÑA JAZZ BAND was born.
They were soon performing around Buenos Aires: appearances in Jazz Festivals, Radio Broadcasts and TV shows made them extremely popular amongst Argentinean audiences.
With the addition of several new members, the band got larger during the late sixties and early seventies, and also widened its repertoire including many arrangements based in the original music created by Fletcher Henderson, the McKinney Cotton Pickers and young Duke Ellington.
During that period the band increased its popularity, and was required to perform abroad, touring Brazil , Chile , Jamaica , Venezuela , Puerto Rico and Uruguay. The band's first European tour took place in 1975, playing to enthusiastic audiences in Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Holland and Switzerland. In the years to follow, the band performed in over 40 international festivals

Qué delicia este tema, tengo el vinilo de Volumen 6 donde aparece; quisiera conseguirlo en CD pero creo que si alguna vez fue editado en ese formato, se agotó hace milenios... hora de rescatar del olvido a esta big band!!
