1	Buena Vista Social Club (1997) more music like this by Buena Vista Social Club This album is named after a members-only club that was opened in Havana in pre-Castro times, a period of unbelievable musical activity in Cuba. While bandleader Desi Arnaz became a huge hit in the States, several equally talented musicians never saw success outside their native country, and have had nothing but their music to sustain them during ... see all copies from $7.98! new only from $15.55!
2	Lagrimas Negras (2004) more music like this by Bebo & Cigala Lágrimas Negras (Black Tears) is a collaborative effort between the octogenarian Cuban piano master Bebo Valdés and the reigning Spanish flamenco cantador, Dieguito El Cigala. Recorded for Fernando Trueba and Nat Chediak's Calle 54 label, the sessions took place in Madrid between September and December 2002. Maestro Valdés (born in 1918), the ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $6.75!
3	Una Sangre (One Blood) (2004) more music like this by Lila Downs Una Sangre (One Blood), Lila Downs' fourth album for the Narada label, is her most restless. Downs is best known to American audiences for her appearance in the film Frida (about the legendary Mexican painter Frida Kahlo) and her major contribution to the film's soundtrack. She has long been in the trenches knitting the indigenous music of her ... see all copies from $5.25! new only from $7.51!
4	Latin Spirits (2001) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Much marketing ado will no doubt be made over the wonderful dream-come-true nature of the legendary conguero's pairing with jazz piano great Chick Corea, in a setting which brings the latter back to his roots playing with Mongo Santamaria in the '60s. And the two Corea-touched tracks are definite highlights. He wrote the jumpy, heavy-chorded jam ... see all copies from $16.89! new only from $16.89!
5	Raise Your Hand (2007) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Conguero Poncho Sanchez grew up on salsa and Latin jazz, but his musical influences also included large doses of Stax and Muscle Shoals R&B. So for his latest album, he decided to pay tribute to both traditions: the result is a strange but seriously fun jumble of soul, salsa, son and jazz. Gratefully, he generally avoids trying to fuse them all ... see all copies from $6.98! new only from $16.89!
6	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!
7	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Manuel Guajiro Mirabal (2005) more music like this by Manuel "El Guajiro" Mirabal see all copies from $16.52! new only from $16.52!
8	Putumayo Presents: Latin Jazz (2007) more music like this by Various Artists It goes without saying that the entire history and stylistic diversity of Latin jazz cannot be encapsulated on one ten-track CD. But like all of Putumayo's compilations, that was the task the label was faced with: representing the chosen genre adequately and accurately while understanding that much more would necessarily be omitted than included. ... see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
9	Live in Japan (2004) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	Soul Sauce (1964) more music like this by Cal Tjader Soul Sauce is one of the highlights from Tjader's catalog with its appealing mixture of mambo, samba, bolero, and boogaloo styles. Tjader's core band -- long-time piano player Lonnie Hewitt, drummer Johnny Rae and percussionist's Willie Bobo and Armanda PerazaÑ -- starts things off with a cooled down version of Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo's ... see all copies from $13.78! new only from $13.78!
11 view cover	Watermelon Man (1962) more music like this by Mongo Santamaria Herbie Hancock's "Watermelon Man" was a gigantic hit for Mongo Santamaria in 1963, doing for him in the '60s what Pérez Prado's big mambo hits did for him in the '50s. Naturally, then, the follow-up LP to the single is devoted to 12 airplay-length tracks loaded with bright, swinging Latin cha-chas and mambo rhythms mixed with blues, soul, and jazz ... see all copies from $7.63! new only from $17.06!
12 view cover	At Newport (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie This CD features Dizzy Gillespie's second great big band at the peak of its powers. On the rapid "Dizzy's Blues" and a truly blazing "Cool Breeze," the orchestra really roars; the latter performance features extraordinary solos by Gillespie, trombonist Al Grey, and tenor saxophonist Billy Mitchell. In addition to fine renditions of "Manteca" and ... see all copies from $10.99! new only from $10.99!
13 view cover	Congo to Cuba (2002) more music like this by Various Artists The rhythms originated in West Africa and originally traveled to Cuba on the slave ships. Since then the music has gone back and forth across the Atlantic countless times, changing slightly on each occasion. This well-composed compilation shows how much Africa and Cuba have in common, kicking off with a smoking "Val Carretero" from Cuba's Chico ... see all copies from $8.25! new only from $13.37!
14 view cover	Danzon (Dance On) (1993) more music like this by Arturo Sandoval Trumpeter Arturo Sandoval comes close on Danzon to cutting the Afro-Cuban masterpiece everyone's awaited since his glorious sound first surfaced. From the animated solos on "Africa," "Tres Palabras," and "Conjunto" to the flowing, crisply articulated lines on "Groovin' High," Sandoval plays with imagination, verve and flair, displaying a more ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $13.91!
15 view cover	Heat Wave (1982) more music like this by Cal Tjader with Carmen McRae Carmen McRae steals honors on vocals. Sparkling vocals and vibes. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $9.40! new only from $10.35!
16 view cover	Mambo with Tjader (1954) more music like this by Cal Tjader Vibraphonist Cal Tjader was quickly becoming one of the most important forces in Latin jazz when he recorded the infectious music on this CD reissue. Joined by pianist Manuel Duran, bassist Carlos Duran, and a couple of percussionists, Tjader performs Latinized versions of such standards as "Cherry," "This Can't Be Love," "I'll Remember April," ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
17 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 $8.05! new only from $16.89!
18 view cover	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 $5.95! new only from $16.89!
19 view cover	Calle 54 (2001) more music like this by Original Soundtrack One exciting thing about asking a label like Blue Note to provide a jazz soundtrack is the depth of catalog there is to draw from. And if that's Latin and Brazilian jazz, all the merrier. Obviously, it will be interesting to see how these 12 tunes match up to the images of the movie, but on its own, this disc is a great sampler of top-notch music ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
20 view cover	The Very Best of Arturo Sandoval (2004) more music like this by Arturo Sandoval Very Best of Arturo Sandoval contains 11 well-chosen tracks taken from the Cuban jazz trumpeter, focusing on his '90s recordings for the GRP label. The majority of these tracks are Sandoval originals that show off his technical ability and agile virtuosity, especially on "The Latin Trane," "A Mis Abuelos," and his intimate use of a mute on the ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
21 view cover	Do It! (2005) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Journeyman Latin jazz bandleader Poncho Sanchez delivers another stellar and high-energy release with Do It! Featuring Sanchez's longtime ensemble, the album also includes appearances by funk legends Tower of Power, who play throughout, as well as South African jazz/funk legend trumpeter Hugh Masekela. Interestingly, rather than revisit one of ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $16.81!
22 view cover	Discovery: Live at Montreux (1990) more music like this by Gonzalo Rubalcaba One of the most exciting major-label debuts during the 1990s was Gonzalo Rubalcaba's Discovery, a trio date at the 1990 Montreux Jazz Festival with bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian. Haden had discovered the young pianist during an appearance in Cuba several years earlier and was surprised at his level of development considering his ... see all copies from $6.96! new only from $10.79!
23 view cover	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!
24 view cover	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.
