| I have several books...
I have the Latin Real Book, which has a great deal of support info - rhythm section scores and montunos for various styles and forms, with clave parts. I also have ther "Learn To Play Latin Piano" book by Riccardo Scivales. It has SOME support info. I've got the Rebecca Mauleon book on Latin styles. It is chock full of examples. Finally I have the graduate paper and sample scores by Chicogan, Art Magana.
Each of these sources has many written examples of everything. However, as nice as all of that is, listening to the music and well as trying to play the percussion and piano parts seems like the way to go. At least, that is what I am trying to do now.
I have a buddy who is an expert Latin style bass player. I just found out he spent several weeks in Havana on two separate trips in the last year or so. I have to hook up with him to find out what that experience was like. I may have to consider someting like this, myself, if I am to really learn this stuff. a bit of a long shot for me, though (one year till I have to face college tuition for my son!).
