Title: nuts and bolts of salsa
Review: Trompeta is one of the best academic studies of Afro-Cuban and salsa music in print. Following roughly in the Gunther Schuller tradition, the author does an in-depth analysis of the music and especially the trumpet style. Although the book does present a fairly thorough overview of the history of the music, it is not for the faint-hearted.Its primary strength is its exhaustive solo by solo and bar by bar study of the playing of Chappottin and Chocolate. An interesting byproduct of the book is the interview with Chocolate, which is presented in Spanish and with an English translation.If you are looking for strictly anecdotal material and an easy read, this book is not for you. However, if you want a book that presents a thorough musical presentation of this great tradition you can't do better than Trompeta
