Alfred Music Publishing is the world's largest educational music publisher. Alfred produces educational, reference pop and performance materials for teachers students professionals and hobbyists spanning every musical instrument style and difficulty level. The Afro-Cuban Big Band Play-Along DVD gives the drummer/percussionist an opportunity to play contemporary Afro-Cuban music in a big band setting. Playing tunes from the Latin Grammy-winning group Afro-Bop Alliance drummer Joe McCarthy focuses on three of the predominant groove categories of mainstream Afro-Cuban music: mambo cha-cha-cha and 6/8 Afro-Cuban. State-of-the-art camera work gives an in-depth look at JoeÆs multi-level approach to playing these exciting rhythms while his focused straight-ahead concepts take the mystery out of applying these grooves to the music of today. The DVD features play-along tracks (minus the drums) an E-book containing the complete charts and examples demonstrated on the DVD and bonus tracks of additional tunes from Afro-Bop Alliance.
