1	The Essential Tito Puente (2005) more music like this by Tito Puente An essential collection for most artists would consist of 12 or perhaps even 20 songs. For the man described as "El Rey," however, a man who recorded over 100 LPs during a career that touched seven decades, the parameters need to be widened significantly. And so comes this two-disc, 40-track collection from RCA/Legacy, focusing on Puente's prime ... see all copies from $22.24! new only from $22.24!
2	Sabroso: The Afro-Latin Groove (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Sabroso! The Afro-Latin Groove is a terrific 18-track collection of Latin jazz recorded between 1954 and 1972. Many of the songs here are making their debut appearence on CD, and several of the artists here -- including major artists like Willie Bobo -- are underrepresented on disc, so this is a helpful way to round up cool, groove-oriented cuts ... see all copies from $17.09! new only from $17.09!
3	Top Percussion (1957) more music like this by Tito Puente A stunner from Puente's golden age, this 1957 recording brought together Tito, Mongo, Willie Bobo, Aguabella, and Julito Collazo on percussion with vocalists that included Mercedita Valdez, in seven wonderful cuts of traditional and (then) contemporary Afro-Cuban skin-on-skin. Then as an unexpected gift, there is a seven-minute Latin-jazz suite ... see all copies from $7.20! new only from $9.90!
4	Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? (1992) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $79.00!
5	Dance Mania (1958) more music like this by Tito Puente Dance Mania is probably Puente's best-known album, appearing as it does in several reissue forms and having inspired subsequent More Dance Mania and Dance Mania '80s titles. Part of the reason is that it's his first major album of dance music, in stereo, on RCA. As with most of the rest of his work for the label, it more than lives up to ... see all copies from $10.38! new only from $10.38!
6	Jazz Moods: Latin Romance (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz Moods: Latin Romance provides plenty of sensual atmosphere with performances by Latin jazz masters like Poncho Sanchez and Pete Escovedo. Tito Puente's "A Prelude to a Kiss," Mongo Santamaria's "Oasis" and "This Is Always" by Cal Tjader are just a few of the other smoldering tracks on this collection. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.20! new only from $4.35!
7	The Colors of Latin Jazz: Soul Sauce! (2000) more music like this by Various Artists Soul Sauce! is a collection highlighting the soulful, funky side of Latin jazz. This hot, incessantly groovin' collection turns this gathering of Latin jazz giants into an instant Latin jazz party with rhythms ranging from guaracha and the guaguanco to the ChaChaCha and the bolero. Tito Puente's most recognizable Afro-Cuban ChaChaCha, "Oye Como Va ... see all copies from $8.62! new only from $8.62!
8	Oye Como Va: The Dance Collection (1982) more music like this by Tito Puente Given Tito Puente's staggeringly prolific output of recordings, obviously no single disc can sum it up, so Concord Picante sensibly calls this compendium a "dance" collection. With the aim to keep the mambos, guajiras and cha chas moving and grooving foremost in mind, there is still a great deal of variety in this CD -- powerhouse big-band sounds, ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $10.35!
9	Cha Cha Chá: Live at Grossinger's (1996) more music like this by Tito Puente see all copies from $6.95! new only from $11.92!
10	Jam Miami: A Celebration of Latin Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists "I just want to celebrate" is the theme of Jam Miami: A Celebration of Latin Jazz, recorded "live" in Miami, FL, by legendary jazz masters Chick Corea, Arturo Sandoval, Pete Escovedo, and Poncho Sanchez. The heat and energy emanating from this incredible concert, one that has been dedicated to their friend and mentor Tito Puente, is preserved in ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.35!
11 view cover	El Rey (1984) more music like this by Tito Puente With His Latin Ensemble This session, originally released in 1984 in a garish, psychedelic cover that's too bizarre for words, marks Tito Puente's temporary return to the small-combo sound that originally made his name, after several years at the head of various big bands. (Of course, in Puente terms, ten pieces qualify as a small combo.) The set list is a nice mix of ... see all copies from $6.13! new only from $10.44!
12 view cover	On Broadway (1982) more music like this by Tito Puente The great Latin bandleader Tito Puente has long been one of the pioneers in fusing bebop with very danceable Latin music. On this Concord disc, Puente plays vibes and timbales and utilizes an 11-piece band featuring trumpeter Jimmy Frisaura, Mario Rivera on tenor, soprano and flute, pianist Jorge Dalto and an infectious rhythm section. Jazz ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
13 view cover	Special Delivery (1996) more music like this by Tito Puente Tito Puente, the godfather of Latin jazz, celebrated 50 years in music with this sizzling CD. "Be-Bop" is launched with a duel between trumpeters Bobby Shew and Maynard Ferguson. Underrated alto saxophonist Bobby Porcelli and tenorman Mario Rivera make this version of "Stablemates" a keeper. The rarely heard "Venus De Milo" is revived with a warm ... see all copies from $13.03! new only from $13.03!
14 view cover	Live at the Village Gate (1992) more music like this by Tito Puente's Golden Latin Jazz All-Stars Tito Puente's Golden Jazz All-Stars, featured on Live at the Village Gate, was an all-star nonet filled with loads of talent: Puente, trumpeter Claudio Roditi, altoist Paquito D'Rivera, flutist Dave Valentin, pianist Hilton Ruiz, bassist Andy Gonzalez, drummer Ignacio Berroa, and Giovanni Hidalgo and Mongo Santamaria on percussion. The music is ... see all copies from $27.93!
15 view cover	Fiesta Picante: The Latin Jazz Party Collection (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Reaching all the way back to the beginnings of Concord Picante in 1979, which was originally created for the pleasure of the late Cal Tjader, Fiesta Picante traces nearly the entire history of the label in what amounts to a greatest-hits collection with a non-stop groove. While the music constantly looks backwards, with few progressive strains, ... see all copies from $8.68! new only from $8.68!
16 view cover	20 Anniversary of the NY Salsa Festival: 1975-1995 (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $12.85! new only from $12.85!
17 view cover	Mambo Mania!: The Kings & Queens of Mambo (1995) more music like this by Various Artists Mambo Mania! may not be the last word on the Afro-Cuban music of the 1950s and '60s, but for beginners, it's a darn nice place to start. Rhino can usually be counted on to do its homework when assembling compilations, and this superb 18-song CD is no exception. Serious fans of what came to be called salsa will be more than familiar with such ... see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
18 view cover	King of Kings: The Very Best of Tito Puente (2002) more music like this by Tito Puente Tito Puente was never one for half measures, and even in death there's no modesty involved, as the label calls him King of Kings. It might be an exaggeration, but only a slight one, and it gets the attention. Still, as the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and there's a hearty meal here, albeit one missing one or two choice ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $12.75!
19 view cover	The Dance Box, Vol. 1 (1995) more music like this by Various Artists This set of house music for the pop-minded includes hits by Sphinx, Abigail and Reel 2 Real, among others. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
20 view cover	Miami Heat: Can You Feel the Heat (2001) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.50! new only from $2.50!
21 view cover	Herman's Heat & Puente's Beat [Bonus Tracks] (1958) more music like this by Woody Herman & Tito Puente Woody Herman and Tito Puente teamed in 1958 for Herman's Heat & Puente's Beat, a mutually satisfying meeting in the same way that Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Machito found common ground in the late '40s. Puente's Latin rhythms and beats meshed with the swing and bebop of Herman's band on half of the disc's cuts, and the results were hot ... see all copies from $11.38! new only from $11.38!
22 view cover	Tito Puente and His Concert Orchestra (1972) more music like this by Tito Puente see all copies from $11.88! new only from $11.88!

24 view cover	Jazzin' (1996) more music like this by Tito Puente/India/Count Basie Orchestra Although the great Latin bandleader Tito Puente gets first billing and the Count Basie Orchestra "guests" on three of the ten selections, the obvious star of this set is singer India. Her emotional delivery borders sometimes on going over the top, but India is quite skilled as an interpreter of lyrics (both in English and in Spanish), as a scat ... see all copies from $56.09! new only from $56.09!
25 view cover	The Best of the Mambo, Vol. 1 [BMG International] (1992) more music like this by Various Artists It's a tough task to live up to the title, but this RCA collection spans the handful of artists who meant most to the mambo during the '50s: Pérez Prado, Beny Moré, Tito Puente, Machito, Tito Rodriguez, and Noro Morales. The track listing is stellar as well, gathering Prado's "Mambo No. 5" and "The Peanut Vendor," Moré's "Babarabatiri" and "Que ... see all copies from $10.33! new only from $10.33!
