The young Cuban drummer named Armando Peraza first came to the United States in 1949. Within months he landed a house gig at Bop City - the San Francisco club where everybody who was anybody played when they hit the coast. Before the year was out he took the stage with the greatest names in jazz, from Billie Holiday to Charles Mingus, Dexter Gordon to Dizzy Gillespie. Peraza also managed to find time for his first recording session-with Charlie Parker.
He was instrumental in the spread of the music called Latin jazz with his work with George Shearing, Mongo Santamaria and Cal Tjader. His work with Santana brought his recognition to an even wider audience.
