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. So will Putumayo Presents: Latin Jazz -- the label's first jazz compilation -- give the uninitiated listener a sufficient crash course? Further exploration...

Bobby Quesada worked as an arranger for the Fania All Stars. He still plays trumpet, and lives in New York city.

"Castellano", a Latin music standard for dancers and singers alike, with its bold trombone and piano solos, was written by the popular Cuban vocalist/bandleader, Benny Moré. "Mayarí" features the King of the Puerto Rican cuatro, Yomo Toro, playing the national 10 stringed Island instrument like Jimmy Hendrix played his Stratocaster. Composed by F. Repilado, the number is dedicated to Cuban vocalist Justo Betancourt and Larry Harlow, el judio maravilloso.

As the fourth release in the Colors of Latin Jazz series, From Samba to Bomba! will appeal to the Latin jazz connoisseur because of its exciting array of compositions that feature the diverse rhythms of a variety of Latin cultures. From the Brazilian samba to the Puerto Rican bomba -- and a number of styles in between, including the ChaChaCha, mambo, soca, charanga, maracatu, and more -- this CD includes the "Mambo King" himself, Tito Puento, playing his hit "Mambo King" from the award-winning Mambo...

Concord's The Colors of Latin Jazz series rounds up Latin jazz sounds originally released by their Concord Picante offshoot. The tunes on Cha Cha Soul! are a mix of Latin styles, but mainly focus on the cha cha and guajira rhythms, and are taken from records released between 1982 and 2003. Tracks by Mongo Santamaria, Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri, Cal Tjader (with the great Carmen McRae), and Tito Puente provide marquee drawing power, and the rest of the performers aren't exactly unknowns in the Latin...

On Latin Vibe! , mallets are made for more than just hitting drums. Residing on this great CD, the listener will find 12 compositions including "Arthur's Dance" and "Descarga Canelon" by the Carribean Jazz Project that spotlight the mastery of Dave Samuels on vibes. "Stepping Stone" features the dynamic duo of Ray Vega sharing his excellent Latin jazz insight on trumpet with Joe Locke on a very select solo that burns right up and down the scales. Cal Tjader's "Aleluia" and "Speak Low" should remind...

This three-disc, 50-track budget collection hops all over the jazz map in a seemingly random fashion, although each disc is thankfully thematically grouped, with disc one consisting of jazz vocals (including "†My Funny Valentine†" by Chet Baker, "†Autumn in New York†" by Jo Stafford, and "†Stars Fell on Alabama†" by Jack Teagarden) and the second disc compiling Latin jazz tracks ("†Mambo Inn†" by Grant Green and "†Caravan†" by Chucho Valdés, among others), while the third gathers assorted jazz ballads...

Jazz and '70s features various pop and rock hits of the '70s redone by different artists in contemporary jazz and sometimes Latin pop styles. Included are songs by Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Billy Joel, Led Zeppelin, and others. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi All Music Guide

Latin jazz collectors note: the title emphatically is Jazz at the Blackhawk , and even the most determined listener will not find an iota of Cal Tjader's explorations of Latin rhythms here. In its place, we get a sturdy set of bop-flavored workouts by Tjader's expert quartet, recorded live in San Francisco's famous long-defunct nightspot. Tjader himself often sounds like Milt Jackson as he handles the mallets fluidly through a set of standards, a pair of originals by himself and his wife, and --...

This was the debut release by the Caribbean Jazz Project, a colorful co-op project that combines together the very different but complementary styles of Paquito D'Rivera (doubling on alto and clarinet), Dave Samuels (on marimba and vibes) and the brilliant steel drummer Andy Narell. Backed by a four-piece rhythm section, the accessible group sticks mostly to catchy group originals that range from Latin jazz to Caribbean music. The likable results are melodic and not overly predictable. This CD gives...

Featuring dancefloor classics such as Tito Puente's 'Oye Coma Va' and Joe Cuba's 'I'll Never Go Back To Georgia' through to the original Afro-Cuban sounds of Machito and Mongo Santamaria alongside the experimentalism of Eddie Palmieri's 'My Spiritual Indian' and Ray Baretto's 'Acid', Nu Yorica Roots! covers all aspects of Latin music.

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 title track, which finds him doing call and response with feisty horns as Sanchez pitter patters fancifully in the background; the piano improvisations between...
