1	Buena Vista Social Club Presents: Ibrahim Ferrer (1999) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer When the Buena Vista Social Club album was released to great acclaim in 1997, it revived the careers of quite a few incredibly talented aging Cuban musicians. Like Ibrahim Ferrer, most of those musicians (who had been legendary in the '40s through the '70s) hadn't been performing professionally in decades. With the success of the Buena Vista ... see all copies from $2.95! new only from $16.52!
2	Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba (2006) more music like this by Various Artists Turning the covers album concept on its head, Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba doesn't set a varied group of northern artists loose on the music made famous by the Buena Vista Social Club, but instead sets the Club's members lose on the northerners' own songs. Now that's an inspired idea, and all to aid charities assisting the victims of natural disasters ... see all copies from $12.21! new only from $16.81!
3	Latin Soul (1999) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Recorded live at two leading California nightspots, Yoshi's in Oakland and the Latin-specializing Conga Room in Los Angeles (the actual sound in the Conga Room is never as good as that on this CD), Concord no doubt hoped for an exceptionally hot live session from this tireless defender of the Latin jazz tradition. What they got was merely a decent ... see all copies from $5.34! new only from $6.21!
4	Conga Blue (1995) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Conga player Poncho Sanchez has been one of the leaders in Latin jazz for a decade. This outstanding studio recording delivers the excitement with the addition of special guest Mongo Santamaria on "Watermelon Man" and several originals. Great solos by trumpeter Stan "Be Bop" Martin and baritone saxophonist Scott Martin add spice to the lively ... see all copies from $8.60! new only from $9.92!
5	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 $11.42! new only from $15.41!
6	Inner Voyage (1999) more music like this by Gonzalo Rubalcaba After taking the jazz world by storm with his exciting debut CD on Blue Note in 1991, Gonzalo Rubalcaba continued to delight his fans throughout the decade with one great recording after another. "Yolanda Anas," "Joan," and "Joao" -- each one a tribute to one of his children -- are intimate musical portraits that have a childlike simplicity, but ... see all copies from $6.73! new only from $6.73!
7	The Very Best of ¡Cubanismo!: ¡Mucho Gusto! (2001) more music like this by ¡Cubanismo! ¡Cubanismo! might have started a year before the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon, but there's no doubt the latter -- in addition to constant touring -- has helped them break through to real success. There's little that's revolutionary about Jesús Alemañy's Cuban blend, as it harks bark heavily to both the dance music of the '40s and '50s, as ... see all copies from $7.88! new only from $13.22!
8	Live at Jazz Alley (1990) more music like this by Mongo Santamaria This is as close to Latin purist Mongo as we have heard in recent years, an eight-piece salsa band -- including several members of the 1997 Tito Puente ensemble, like trumpeter Ray Vega, altoist Bobby Porcelli and tenorman Mitch Frohman -- playing a brace of Mongo classics and Latin jazz pieces live before a hushed crowd in Seattle's Jazz Alley. ... see all copies from $3.34! new only from $6.95!
9	Kenya: Afro-Cuban Jazz (1957) more music like this by Machito Classic Afro-Cuban jazz albums are not so plentiful that any can escape being called "essential." By 1958 the idiom had lost its original spontaneity and excitement, but new life had come from the recording possibilities of high-fidelity stereo. Kenya belongs to the style typified by Tito Puente's great work for Victor in this period. There are ... see all copies from $6.73! new only from $10.79!
10	Soul of the Conga (2000) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Soul of the Conga is the great follow-up release to Poncho Sanchez's Grammy Award winning CD Latin Soul, and it is every bit as soulful and special. As his 20th CD as a bandleader, (his 18th for Concord Picante), the release also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the master conguero's group. The conguero and his three-horn, three-percussion octet ... see all copies from $4.43! new only from $9.92!
11 view cover	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 $14.58! new only from $16.89!
12 view cover	The Best of the Concord Years (2000) more music like this by Tito Puente The Best of the Concord Years collects 24 tracks over two discs from the final portion of Latin band leader and percussionist Tito Puente's career, which spanned six decades. During that time, Puente never strayed far from his jazz roots, as demonstrated by the inclusion of compositions by John Coltrane, Horace Silver, Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk ... see all copies from $9.95! new only from $17.57!
13 view cover	The Best of Arturo Sandoval (1997) more music like this by Arturo Sandoval The skimpy booklet accompanying this compilation is of no help whatsoever -- no personnel, no dates, no sources -- and one can only presume from some of the vintage instruments and rhythms that these tracks were probably recorded in the early '80s before Arturo Sandoval's defection and subsequent GRP contract. But regardless, Best of Arturo ... see all copies from $10.85! new only from $12.48!
14 view cover	Cuba Linda (1997) more music like this by Alfredo Rodriguez Pianist Rodriguez serves up a panoramic view of Afro-Cuban music on this dizzyingly varied release. He uses different-sized lineups, but his literate, complementary piano playing is in the midst of it all. Some of the more prominent sidemen include trumpeter Jesus Alemany, saxophonist/percussionist Yosvany Terry, percussionists Tata Guines and ... see all copies from $2.79! new only from $11.21!
15 view cover	Afro-Roots (1958) more music like this by Mongo Santamaria A CD reissue of a mid-'70s repackaging of Mongo Santamaria's first two Fantasy albums, 1958's Yambu and 1959's Mongo, Afro-Roots is superb Latin jazz. Although these were Santamaria's first albums as a leader, the conga player had already worked with Pérez Prado, Tito Puente, and Cal Tjader, giving him absolutely impeccable Latin jazz credentials ... see all copies from $8.81! new only from $10.35!
16 view cover	Live at the Village Vanguard (2000) more music like this by Chucho Valdes If Blue Note's alert microphones were present at Chucho Valdés's historic 1998 debut at the hallowed Village Vanguard, the results haven't officially landed in our CD machines yet. But the mikes were there, alright, the following year -- and they caught some virulent Cuban tempests (as the announcer warns, accurately, "There's a hurricane ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
17 view cover	Mongo's Greatest Hits (1958) more music like this by Mongo Santamaria This is a excellent single-disc sampler of what Mongo Santamaria was like before "Watermelon Man" catapulted him into the charts. Some of the Fantasy tracks sound like the musicians were just off the boat from Havana, and are a bit primitive in contrast to the brassy Santamaria of the mid- to late '60s, but they have overwhelming charm. The ... see all copies from $8.95! new only from $16.43!
18 view cover	Supernova (2001) more music like this by Gonzalo Rubalcaba For those who prefer their Latin jazz to lean a bit more heavily to the jazz side, Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba ranks among the best of the modern composer/arrangers, with a style that pays tribute to the African, Caribbean, and European influences of his native country while updating them for today's jazz audience. Though nowhere near as ... see all copies from $11.24! new only from $15.41!
19 view cover	Y los Piratas del Flamenco (2004) more music like this by Jerry Gonzalez Trumpeter/percussionist Jerry Gonzalez is best known for playing Afro-Cuban jazz and leading the Fort Apache Band. In the early 21st century he lived in Spain and was among the first players to explore fusing together jazz with flamenco music. The innovative new music and his appearance in the film Calle 54 made him a celebrity in Spain and led to ... see all copies from $12.17! new only from $15.49!
20 view cover	Solo: Live in New York (2001) more music like this by Chucho Valdés Following up on 2000's ensemble tour de force Live at the Village Vanguard, Blue Note issued this album by Cuban sensation Chucho Valdés -- a solo concert recorded live in 1998 at Lincoln Center's Kaplan Penthouse in New York. Listening to the great pianist in an unaccompanied setting, one is struck not only by his formidable technique but also ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $14.38!
21 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. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.29! new only from $4.29!
22 view cover	Briyumba Palo Congo (1999) more music like this by Chucho Valdes Chucho Valdés comes roaring out of the jewel box again with a stupefying demonstration of piano technique and musical sense allied with a hot-as-sun Cuban rhythm team. In sync with North American preoccupations in 1998 and 1999, this album spends a good deal of time commemorating the centenaries of the Gershwins and Duke Ellington. "Caravan" is ... see all copies from $13.08! new only from $14.78!
23 view cover	Buenos Hermanos (2003) more music like this by Ibrahim Ferrer Ibrahim Ferrer, the "official" lead vocalist of Buena Vista Social Club, and producer Ry Cooder take numerous chances and many labyrinthine journeys (guaranteed to piss off all of the purists) on their third collaboration for the World Circuit/Nonesuch label, yet manage to come up with the most beautiful fruit of their collaborative efforts to ... see all copies from $13.50! new only from $16.85!
24 view cover	Classic Meets Cuba (2004) more music like this by Klazz Brothers/Cuba Percussion Well, it's certainly a novel idea: three German classical and jazz musicians collaborate with a pair of Cuban percussionist/vocalists to put the classics in a Cuban style. That's fine -- there's really no need to be precious about Beethoven, Mozart, et al. after all this time. And there's a certain kitsch value about the disc -- good for a bit of ... see all copies from $8.37! new only from $11.06!
25 view cover	Arturo Sandoval & the Latin Train (1995) more music like this by Arturo Sandoval see all copies from $3.08! new only from $13.91!
