Cuban Influences on New Orleans Music
This outstanding essay by Jack Stewart, a New Orleans historian, makes an excellent case for Cuba's influence on early jazz. I'm not sure if it has been published in print anywhere, but it was commissioned by Arhoolie records to go along with a release of early-twentieth-century recordings of Cuban music. Great essay.
