There are over 26 officially recognized rudiments according to many jazz greats but the list is growing. Some unofficial collections recognize up to 40.
Some Examples of Latin Jazz:
Carlos Jazz Jam

Arguably the most popular peice to emerge from the latin jazz movement is Blue Bossa. This "song" or melody as it were has been reproduced countless times and thrown to thousands of open interpretations and variations engineered by American, European, and Latin jazz artists alike.
The general trend has been not so much that Mexico has produced it's own forms of Latin jazz but rather that it has produced many stunningly talented jazz musicians such as Carlos Santana, Adrian Terrazas-Gonzales, and Antonio Sanchez.
The Latin influences are somewhat drowned out and therefore extremely subtle in most jazz improvisations. I would venture to argue however, that this subtlety is the core reason for the widespread appeal of this music. It has been said that Jazz is inherently American because of its origins, but the thruth of the matter is that Jazz is a worldwide collaboration and part of an ongoing project to find new sound that is pleasant and technically masterful.
