While jazz music has many of its roots on the island nation of Cuba dating as far back as the end of the 19th century, it was really in the 1920’s that the genre gained an established presence in the country.
It was then, in 1929 to be specific, that the first Cuban jazz big band Brothers Castros led by a saxophonist named Manolo Castro was formed, and over time, the genre grew in fame and size. While considered to be the first jazz big band of the time, Brothers Castros was far from the last.
During this time many American jazz bands were hired to play in the Caribbean island. Cuban musicians learnt from those American bands not only the intricacies of the jazz language but the international repertoire and soon they became masters of the musical genre not only in Cuba but in the very USA.
