In 1995, The Recording Academy created a category to recognize Latin Jazz artists and their incredible music. Originally called the Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Performance, Cuban-American jazz trumpeter, pianist and composer Arturo Sandova took home this prestigious award for the first time ever for his album titled Danzón (Dance On). The Recording Academy would change the title of the award to Best Latin Jazz Album, rather than Best Performance, in the years to come. Tonight’s rendition of The Shed Show features Contemporary Latin Jazz Grammy Award-Winning Musicians and their music.
