1979 interview with bassist Andy González
González, the prince of Latin bass playing (I'd put Cachao as the king), was interviewed in 1979 by Roberta Singer. Descarga.com reprints this excellent interview about the NYC Latin and Latin jazz scene HERE.
That first moment that sought to document an act, an idea, a presence, an existence, a deity... that initial spark of creativity born of desire to intensify experience, enhance a space, beautify a body, paint a cave wall, decorate a tool... that first shuffling of utterances, that first gesture, that first rhythm, that first song... that was when we truly became human. --Kevin
