1	Sweet Love of Mine (2006) more music like this by John Hicks A few weeks prior to his death on May 10, 2006, pianist John Hicks entered the recording studio for what was likely the final time to produce this memorable CD. His reflective ballad "One Peaceful Moment" is a meditative solo piano feature that opens the disc. Two additional solo features, "The Things We Did Last Summer" and the original "Sunset ... see all copies from $14.93! new only from $14.93!

3	La Diosa del Mar (2001) more music like this by Mayra Caridad Valdés It must be in the genes. Mayra Caridad Valdés, the daughter of mambo-era pianist, arranger, and musical director Bebo Valdés, younger sister of Latin jazz Grammy winner Chucho Valdés, and lead singer of the Cuban group Irakere, now steps closer to the plate with her own album. A grouping of Afro-Cuban jazz, folklore, time-tested boleros, and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $2.25!
4	Lucumi (1986) more music like this by Chucho Valdes Lecumi is an often-thoughtful solo recital by pianist Chucho Valdes. Part of the time he comes across as a Latin Ray Bryant, displaying his two-handed style and a tie to the swing tradition; at other times the pianist recalls McCoy Tyner. Valdes' nine originals are full of rich melodies, are often wistful, and are explored with taste and subtle ... see all copies from $14.99!
5	And Sammy Walked In (2005) more music like this by Sammy Figueroa Conguero/percussionist Sammy Figueroa heads a sextet on this date that sounds like a Latinized version of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. The music is essentially hard bop, featuring solos from trumpeter John Lovell, saxophonist John Michalak (who is replaced by Tyler Kuebler on two of the ten selections), and pianist Michael Orta. Of the lesser ... see all copies from $14.51! new only from $14.51!
6	The Doble Gigante: The Latin Jazz Sides (2004) more music like this by Chucho Valdés A true giant of Cuban music, Chucho Valdés has also been one of the world's top jazz pianists during the past few decades. Doble Gigante has a strong sampling of his work from several different time periods. The opening "Chorrino" is a trio outing from 1997 and there are three quartet showcases from 1965 that show that Valdés had his own original ... see all copies from $11.89! new only from $11.89!
7	Havana Blues Mambo (2005) more music like this by Pablo Menendez It isn't hard to understand why Pablo Menéndez calls his band Mezcla, which means "mixture" in Spanish. The California-born guitarist (who has spent much of his life in Havana, Cuba) isn't afraid to combine different styles of music, and that is exactly what happens on Havana Blues Mambo (the first album released under Menéndez' own name). This is ... see all copies from $10.15! new only from $10.15!

9	Akimba (2002) more music like this by Mezcla Mezcla, an eight-piece combo from Havana, joins the Khaeon roster with this hard-hitting but somewhat cluttered live session. While Afro-Cuban jazz and world music are the group's primary influences, the stinging fuzz guitar of leader Pablo Menéndez and the prominent, chopsy electric bass of José Hermida lend a flavor of Southern California fusion ... see all copies from $9.55! new only from $9.55!
