Dizzy Gillespie - Manteca - 1947

" Manteca " is one of the earliest foundational tunes of Afro-Cuban jazz . Co-written by Dizzy Gillespie , Chano Pozo and Gil Fuller in 1947, it is among the most famous of Gillespie's recordings (along with the earlier " A Night in Tunisia ") and is "one of the most important records ever made in the United States," according to Gary Giddins of The Village Voice . "Manteca" is the first tune rhythmically based on the clave to become a jazz standard . – more at Wikipedia
