1	Buena Vista Social Club (1997) more music like this by Buena Vista Social Club add to wishlist 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 $9.99! new only from $14.95!
2	Raise Your Hand (2007) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez add to wishlist 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 $3.95! new only from $3.95!
3	A Toda Cuba Le Gusta (1997) more music like this by Afro-Cuban All Stars add to wishlist A lively, spontaneous record that manages to sound both relaxed and forceful at the same time, A Toda Cuba Le Gusta shows off the talents of many of Cuba's elder statesmen of Afro-Cuban jazz. Over gently pulsating conga grooves and low-register ostinatos, such luminaries as pianist Ruben Gonzalez and singer Manuel "Puntillita" Licea float dramatic ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.72!
4	Lagrimas Negras (2004) more music like this by Bebo & Cigala add to wishlist 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 $3.81! new only from $8.04!
5	Latin Jazz Christmas (2003) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from $9.08! new only from $9.08!
6	Putumayo Presents: Latin Jazz (2007) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $7.00! new only from $7.00!
7	Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac (1967) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie add to wishlist A strangely popular album for Dizzy Gillespie, Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac represents a period in his career where he was adapting to the times, keeping his goof factor on board, and individually playing as well as he ever had. This club date, recorded over two days circa May of 1967 from The Memory Lane in Los Angeles, has Gillespie with soon to be ... see all copies from $3.77! new only from $9.59!
8	Danzon (Dance On) (1993) more music like this by Arturo Sandoval add to wishlist 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 $2.57! new only from $9.66!
9	El Sonido Nuevo: The New Soul Sound (1966) more music like this by Cal Tjader & Eddie Palmieri add to wishlist This Verve CD reissues the popular collaboration between vibraphonist Cal Tjader and pianist Eddie Palmieri (who provided the arrangements) titled El Sonido Nuevo: The New Soul Sound, along with six other songs taken from a pair of Tjader's other Verve albums. Despite the claims of greatness expressed in the liners ("a landmark in the history of ... see all copies from $7.57! new only from $10.44!
10	Congo to Cuba (2002) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist 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 $10.15! new only from $12.47!
11	Hot House (1998) more music like this by Arturo Sandoval add to wishlist see all copies from $7.75! new only from $13.59!
12	The Colors of Latin Jazz: Cubop! (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist This CD features songs that merge blistering bebop with red-hot Afro-Cuban rhythms and what you hear is one of the most exciting styles of Latin jazz -- Cubop. This powerful collection, the second in the Colors of Latin Jazz series, spotlights essential performances by both Latin jazz pioneers and contemporary innovators that have recorded for ... see all copies from $2.24! new only from $7.55!
13	Sentir (2002) more music like this by Omar Sosa add to wishlist On Sentir, the globetrotting, Cuban-born pianist Omar Sosa is joined not by a full band, but rather by a host of percussionists and vocalists. Sosa remains focused on communicating a kind of ecstatic, multicultural religiosity -- most of these tracks are dominated by fervent chanting in one of several languages, underscored by rolling percussion ... see all copies from $2.52! new only from $3.27!
14	At Newport (1957) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie add to wishlist 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 $7.53! new only from $8.16!
15	Havana Cafe (1991) more music like this by Paquito D'Rivera add to wishlist 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 $7.77! new only from $15.51!
16	An Electrifying Evening with the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet (1961) more music like this by Dizzy Gillespie Quintet add to wishlist Dizzy Gillespie (along with altoist Leo Wright, pianist Lalo Schfrin, bassist Bob Cunningham, and drummer Chuck Lampkin) were in peak form for this live performance. Their versions of "Kush," "Salt Peanuts," and "The Mooche" are all excellent, but it is "A Night in Tunisia," with its absolutely stunning trumpet break (which lasts half a chorus), ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $14.10!
17	KCRW Presents: Sounds Eclectico (2005) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist The performances on Sounds Eclectico are all live recordings related to KCRW, the Santa Monica public radio station that's a vital and varied musical resource for the curious, the fans, and the Hollywood music supervisors. Morning Becomes Eclectic host Nic Harcourt produces the set, and provides notes to each selection. As you might expect, ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $12.28!
18	Rumba Palace (2007) more music like this by Arturo Sandoval add to wishlist There's something about Cuban music that makes you wonder, whenever you listen to it, why it is that you spend so much of your life doing things other than listening to it. And the same goes for the great Cuban trumpeter Arturo Sandoval -- whenever you hear him do something other than play Cuban music, you wonder why on Earth he's doing whatever ... see all copies from $5.85! new only from $5.85!
19	Afro-Cuban Fantasy (Cabildo) (1998) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez add to wishlist Our resident Latin jazz classicist comes up with a good concept -- evoking the memories of non-Latino Afro-Cuban music pioneers Stan Kenton, Shorty Rogers and Cal Tjader -- and better still, delivers great music unfettered by any hint of routine. The Sanchez octet does so by simply being itself, without trying to imitate its subjects (if anything, ... see all copies from $6.88! new only from $10.43!
20	Flight to Freedom (1991) more music like this by Arturo Sandoval add to wishlist In July 1990, after playing trumpet in his native Cuba for 28 of his 41 years, Arturo Sandoval had the opportunity to defect from Cuba along with his family. A brilliant virtuoso, Sandoval finally was able to play whatever music he wanted without having to satisfy a dictator, and his potential was enormous. On his American debut, Sandoval mostly ... see all copies from $4.96! new only from $9.14!
21	La Onda Va Bien (1979) more music like this by Cal Tjader add to wishlist It was only fitting that vibraphonist Cal Tjader launched the Concord Picante label with this release for Tjader did a great deal to popularize Latin-jazz. This was not his strongest effort (the solos of Tjader and flutist Roger Glenn are not all that substantial) but the drumming of Vince Lateano and the percussion of Poncho Sanchez keep the ... see all copies from $5.36! new only from $9.14!
22	Panamonk (1996) more music like this by Danilo Perez add to wishlist This is one of the more interesting Thelonious Monk tribute albums of the 1990s. Pianist Danilo Perez does not really sound much like Monk except in a couple places on purpose, but he has clearly learned from Monk's music, particularly in his use of space and quirky dissonances. The trio performances range from respectful ballads and Latinized ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $14.10!
23	Una Sangre (One Blood) (2004) more music like this by Lila Downs add to wishlist 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 $11.06! new only from $11.06!
24	The Essential Tito Puente (2005) more music like this by Tito Puente add to wishlist 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 $12.72! new only from $12.72!
25	Kenya: Afro-Cuban Jazz (1958) more music like this by Machito add to wishlist 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 $8.54! new only from $8.54!
