1	Tico! Tico! (1989) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera Paquito D'Rivera's alto and clarinet skills were ably displayed on this session, which featured him working in Afro-Latin, salsa, funk, swing and hard bop. Compositions ranged from intense, jam-flavored numbers with torrid solos, like "Recife's Blue" and the title tune, to introspective ballads, group pieces with rhythmically explosive sections ... see all copies from $10.98! new only from $16.10!
2	The Jazz Chamber Trio (2005) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera This delightful project features altoist Paquito D'Rivera mostly playing clarinet in a trio with cellist Mark Summer and pianist Alon Yavnai. Although their set includes originals by all three musicians, the music overall is as strongly influenced by Cuban folk music and classical themes as by jazz. D'Rivera clearly enjoys mixing together the ... see all copies from $9.59! new only from $16.20!
3	Portraits of Cuba (1996) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera Because Paquito D'Rivera is such a compelling improviser, one greets a heavily arranged and orchestrated session like Portraits of Cuba with some apprehension. But as it turns out, such apprehension is unwarranted, for the Cuban saxman/clarinetist still has enough room to solo and say what needs to be said. With this 1996 session, which was ... see all copies from $16.10! new only from $16.10!
4	Funk Tango (2007) more music like this by Paquito d'Rivera Despite the title of the CD, this set does not really feature "funk tango." However, it does showcase Paquito d'Rivera's talents in bebop, Afro-Cuban jazz, Brazilian jazz; on an Astor Piazzolla tango during the adventurous "Milonga 10"; exploring a post-bop groove on the title cut; and on his own classical-type Cuban melody (taken as a clarinet ... see all copies from $14.61! new only from $14.61!
5	Brazilian Dreams (2002) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera Extraordinary saxophonist, clarinetist, and composer Paquito D'Rivera shows his love for vocal quartet music and Brazilian composers on Brazilian Dreams. As one of the most influential and dynamic musicians of his time, D'Rivera's distinctive command of Afro-Cuban jazz, Brazilian jazz, big band, folklore, and world music has attracted critical ... see all copies from $16.10! new only from $16.10!
6	World Christmas [Capitol] (1996) more music like this by Various Artists With a lineup that includes Papa Wemba, Angelique Kidjo, Cearia Evora, Zakir Hussain, Yomo Toro, and the Gipsy Kings, World Christmas certainly gives the impression of broad international diversity. However...the set of mostly traditional seasonal tunes has more mainstream conventional Western jazz backing of Bob Berg, Jim Beard, John Scofield, ... see all copies from $8.19! new only from $8.19!
7	Jingle Bell Jazz [Columbia CD] (1990) more music like this by Various Artists Columbia through the years has had several Christmas jazz samplers. This album is mostly from the 1961-62 period, although there is an unusual version of "Deck the Halls" that features both Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea on pianos in 1969 with a nonet. Highlights include Duke Ellington's "Jingle Bells," the Chico Hamilton Quintet playing "Winter ... see all copies from $5.44! new only from $5.44!
8	United Rhythms of Messidor (1994) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.99!
9	The Best of Paquito D'Rivera (2002) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera This best-of marks the six years that Cuban saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera spent on Columbia Records, between 1981 and 1987. This was a period when the great jazzman walked the knife's edge between very commercial-sounding Latin-tinged jazz and the burning sound of his return to his roots. There is a phenomenal version of "On Green Dolphin Street" ... see all copies from $21.31! new only from $21.31!
10	A Night in Englewood (1993) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera and the United Nation Orchestra After Dizzy Gillespie's death in 1991, his colorful Afro-Cuban United Nation Orchestra (which was formed in 1988) was headed by altoist-clarinetist Paquito D'Rivera. With the better-known sidemen on this 1993 CD including first trumpeter Byron Stripling, trombonist Conrad Herwig and tenor saxophonist Mario Rivera, additional solo space was ... see all copies from $8.99! new only from $8.99!
11 view cover	Havana Cafe (1991) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera This excellent all-round session features Paquito D'Rivera on alto, clarinet, and soprano with his sextet, which is comprised of either Fareed Haque or Ed Cherry on guitar, the great pianist Danilo Perez, bassist David Finck, drummer Jorge Rossy, and percussionist Sammy Figueroa. The program has some strong group originals (such as "Havana Cafe," ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $15.08!
12 view cover	Celebration (1987) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera The "celebration" in question refers to Paquito becoming a U.S. citizen seven years after defecting from Cuba -- and without question, he lives it up here by lavishing string arrangements on the majority of the tracks. Again, Paquito chooses to roam freely around the Latin and jazz spectrums, yet there is an appealing, newfound elegance in these ... see all copies from $2.69!
13 view cover	Tropicana Nights (1999) more music like this by Paquito d'Rivera In celebration of the famous Tropicana casino in Havana, Cuba, D'Rivera assembled a 22-piece big band to play many of the famous tunes that the "most beautiful nightclub in the world" was known for in the '50s. The band is a killer, rising up to the vaunted musicianship of D'Rivera, including trumpeters Mike Ponella and Diego Urcola, trombonists ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $16.59!
14 view cover	The Gathering (2002) more music like this by Caribbean Jazz Project The Gathering is the Caribbean Jazz Project's third release; principals Dave Samuels and Dave Valentin are joined by Paquito D'Rivera, once a regular with the group, on the lively opener, "Rendezvous," as well as a Latin reworking of Monk's "Bemsha Swing." Oliver Nelson's classic "Stolen Moments" comes in for a moody 7/4 treatment. Pianist Dario ... see all copies from $9.19! new only from $9.73!

16 view cover	Mosaic (2006) more music like this by Caribbean Jazz Project/Dave Samuels Working a bright, innovative corner of Latin jazz and drawing on Jamaican, Afro-Cuban, Venezuelan, and Peruvian rhythms to create a hybrid mosaic (as the title suggests), the loose, rotating collective that is the Caribbean Jazz Project manages to be many things at once, including a dance band with a hard bop sensibility, and at times the ensemble ... see all copies from $16.89! new only from $16.89!
17 view cover	Manhattan Burn (1986) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera Even for Paquito D'Rivera, Manhattan Burn is diversity run riot as he spreads his stylistic net even further afield. At first, perhaps in an effort to stir up some sales -- or more kindly, in the spirit of adventure -- Paquito turns to an easier-listening direction on the opening tracks, with Daniel Freiberg laying down the usual bland synth ... see all copies from $9.23!
18 view cover	Who's Smoking?! (1991) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera with James Moody The answer to this CD's title is the musicians. The heated bebop-oriented session finds Paquito D'Rivera joined by trumpeter Claudio Roditi, flügelhornist Mark Morganelli, Danilo Perez or Pedrito Lopez on piano, bassist Harvie Swartz, and drummer Al Foster. An extra treat is that veteran tenorman James Moody guests on three of the nine selections, ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
19 view cover	The Lost Sessions (2003) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera While the title would have listeners believe that these sessions are of a piece, they are actually compiled tracks from the years 1976-1978, with four different bands and five different sessions -- including two in Havana. Some of the D'Rivera's associates on these dates include the Finland Jazz Combo, Chucho and Oscar Valdes, Arturo Sandoval, ... see all copies from $22.01! new only from $22.01!

21 view cover	God Rest Ye Merry Jazzmen (1981) more music like this by Various Artists For this Christmas jazz album, six top artists who were on Columbia's roster at the time contribute a song apiece. Tenor-great Dexter Gordon plays a memorable version of "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," apianist McCoy Tyner performs a solo rendition of "I'll Be Home for Chrtistmas," the Arthur Blythe Quartet is lyrical on "The Christmas ... see all copies from $9.00!
22 view cover	La Habana: Rio Conexion (1992) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera La Habana: Rio Conexion is saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera's attempt to bring the gospel of historical bolero to American listeners. These 12 cuts are steeped in the grand Cuban tradition and reinsert its cultural and historical center into a music that has been watered down to the point of being nondescript. But, of course, this is also a jazz ... see all copies from $6.84!
23 view cover	Habanera (2001) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera & Absolute Ensemble This bold and innovative "third stream" project has the hand of producer and arranger Daniel Schnyder all over it.
