Very few outfits have managed to notch up fifty years as jazz ensembles: Duke Ellington, Count Basie… and, as we know, La Locomotora Negra. Having started out as a group of friends eager to play jazz, to enjoy it help others enjoy it, this music venture has grown into and endured as something which is much more that its members could have first envisaged. Now, as the final chapter in their career dawns, these tireless musicians bring us Una història amb swing, a book offering a tribute, an emotive account from within. A highly readable narrative, accompanied with images, explains this long journey, where personal and collective paths interweave in time and specific landscapes to form part of the plural culture of a city and a country.
