Jazz was at its peak in Mexico when Mexican pioneer Jazz Musicians: Tommy Rodriguez and Chilo Moran co-founded in December 6 of 1956 the famous Jazz Bar. Located right under the nightclub Astoria at Nuevo León 16 in the Condesa neighborhood in Mexico City, it quickly became a favorite hang out for writers, politicians, musicians and jazz fans.It's in this bar that after his arrival in Mexico Chico O'Farrill met most of the musicians he hired for his big band

With Tommy on Tenor Sax and Chilo on trumpet the house band included Pablito Jaimes on piano, Fernando El Jarocho Sandoval on bass and Luis El Patito Vargas on drums. In the Jazz Bar were also the tropical band Mangue and a dance act led by El Gran Fellove, the great Cuban scat pioneer.

The popularity of this Jazz Band was reflected by the Mexican film Industry of that time in camera appearances & performances like in the present Film : "Locos Peligrosos" (Crazzy and Dangerous)of 1957 with Germán Valdéz "Tintan", Luis Aguilar, Yolanda Varela, Paco Malgesto & Manuel "Loco Valdez", Directed by Fernando Cortés

  • alguien sabe como se llama esa rola? o donde podria conseguir todo el jazz d tintan? si alguien sabe se los agradeceria mucho

  • Como se detalla en la seccion "ABOUT THIS VIDEO, la Rola" fue unicamante integrada por el Grupo de JAZZ de Tommy Rodriguez y Chilo Moran para la pelicula a efectos de que la pudieran interpretar tanto TINTAN como LUIS AGUILAR aun y cuando ninguno de ellos eran camtante de JAZZ.

    Asi mimso feuar de la pelicula no se volivio a interpretar con esta alineacion ni se produjo en ningun disco.

    Saludos

  • @titawombe @polikro sí, efectivamente de Franz Liszt (y no: Lizst) pero no es una sonata... es un liebestraum (o un "sueño de amor" y es un "nocturno" una forma musical del romanticismo. y estos nocturnos (o sea los 3 Liebestraum) que compuso Liszt, fueron llamados así porque fueron inspirados por poemas de amor de Ludwig Uhland y Ferdinand Freiligrath, escritores alemanes. Pues bueno la música ésta joya, fue basada en el liebestraum más famoso de Liszt: el número 3. :)
