Eddie Cano • Cano Plays Mancini

 

Biography by Eugene Chadbourne
Pianist Eddie Cano spent most of his career connecting the dots between jazz and Latin styles. He found an appreciative audience for a series of albums under his own name released in the '50s and '60s by labels such as Atco, Reprise, and RCA, his following similar to that of vibraphonist Cal Tjader and bandleader Les Baxter. Cano also drew on dance crazes such as the cha cha and the Watusi to promote his efforts. His family was rich musically, Cano's father a bass guitarist, his grandfather a member of the Mexico City Symphony. Cano studied bass with his grandfather and private teachers, also studied piano and trombone, spent two years in the Army beginning in 1945, and then began hitting stages in a group led by Miguelito Valdés.

He soon made a connection with Herb Jeffries, a singer whose forte was balladry and with whom Cano would collaborate off and on over the next decade. The pianist had his own bands going as early as 1948, but continued working with Jeffries, Bobby Ramos, and Tony Martinez. As a composer, Cano came up with a large repertoire, including the tasty "Algo Sabroso," the friendly "Cal's Pals," the wiggly "Watusi Walk," and the thrilling "Ecstasy" -- not to mention "Honey Do," which could be a cross-genre answer song to Carl Perkins' popular "Honey Don't." While many of his peers concentrated on the peerless thrust of Latin rhythms, Cano hardly ignored this component but seemed equally intent on emphasizing the kind of complex, provocative harmonic and melodic structures associated with modern jazz.

Biografía de Eugene Chadbourne
El pianista Eddie Cano pasó la mayor parte de su carrera conectando los puntos entre el jazz y los estilos latinos. Encontró un público agradecido con una serie de álbumes bajo su propio nombre publicados en los años 50 y 60 por sellos como Atco, Reprise y RCA, y sus seguidores eran similares a los del vibrafonista Cal Tjader y el director de orquesta Les Baxter. Cano también se basó en modas de baile como el cha cha y el Watusi para promover sus esfuerzos. Su familia era rica musicalmente, el padre de Cano era bajista y su abuelo miembro de la Sinfónica de Ciudad de México. Cano estudió bajo con su abuelo y con profesores particulares, también estudió piano y trombón, pasó dos años en el ejército a partir de 1945 y luego empezó a tocar en los escenarios con un grupo dirigido por Miguelito Valdés.

Pronto conectó con Herb Jeffries, un cantante cuyo fuerte era la balada y con el que Cano colaboraría de forma intermitente durante la siguiente década. El pianista ya tenía sus propias bandas en 1948, pero siguió trabajando con Jeffries, Bobby Ramos y Tony Martínez. Como compositor, Cano creó un amplio repertorio, que incluía la sabrosa "Algo Sabroso", la simpática "Cal's Pals", la contoneante "Watusi Walk" y la emocionante "Ecstasy", por no hablar de "Honey Do", que podría ser una canción de respuesta a la popular "Honey Don't" de Carl Perkins. Mientras muchos de sus compañeros se concentraban en el inigualable empuje de los ritmos latinos, Cano apenas ignoraba este componente, pero parecía igualmente decidido a enfatizar el tipo de estructuras armónicas y melódicas complejas y provocativas asociadas al jazz moderno.
