Notes: 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...

"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.

'Playing original material in a refined and sophisticated style. We were the first and only band with a Baritone Sax and four Trombones giving us a "fat" and "thin" sound at the same time. One of New York City's top Salsa bands in the 80"s, with two albums that went "GOLD". We are back ready to pick up where we left off before.'

Concord Jazz's astute compilation of Antonio Carlos Jobim tunes rendered by its roster's artists includes a new reading of "The Girl from Ipanema" by Charlie Byrd, a nice modern reading of "Só Danço Samba," Ali Ryerson's gorgeous take on "Zingaro," and Susannah McCorkle's burning tempo on "A Felicidade (Happiness)." Not for the hardcore purists, but then nothing is but the real thing. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi All Music Guide

It's such a simple idea that it's hard to believe no one has done it before: a chronological history of Latin jazz. Tied to a book of the same name, this is a superb disc that takes the listener from the start, in 1949, with Machito & the Afro-Cubans offering the splendid, rhythmic "Tanga," all the way to Cuban pianist Chucho Valdes at a descarga (jam session) in 1998. What's astonishing isn't so much how the form developed, although it obviously has, but how fully formed it was in the beginning...

THE IDAN RAICHEL PROJECT has changed the face of Israeli popular music with an intriguinging and infectious blend of African, Latin American, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern rhythms, richly poetic lyrics of love and devotion, and state-of-the-art production techniques.

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...

This release presents an excellent snapshot of the vital Cincinnati jazz scene late in the 20th century. With fine contributions from Standard Time, William Menefield Trio, Latin X-Posure, and many others, the disc offers Latin, cool, bop, and swing in equal doses. While none of it is that mind-altering, the collection is a pleasant overview. ~ Tim Sheridan, Rovi All Music Guide

Jazz and '90s features various pop hits of the '90s redone by different artists in cooled-out contemporary jazz and Latin styles. Included are smooth versions songs by Jamiroquai, No Doubt, Lenny Kravitz, and others. Matt Collar , All Music Guide

Cal Tjader became one of the foremost performers in the world of Latin jazz, even though he was a Swedish-American by birth. After serving with honor in the military during World War II, he was a member of Dave Brubeck's experimental octet and drummer in the pianist's trio before going out on his own as a leader. This compilation of Monterey Jazz Festival performances includes the vibraphonist's complete set from 1958 (the inaugural year) with pianist Vince Guaraldi, bassist Al McKibbon, and percussionist...

Conga player Poncho Sanchez, a veteran of Cal Tjader's band, has made an album a year for Concord Records since 1982; he's the current keeper of the Latin jazz small group flame. His fluid and enticing West Coast ensemble -- modeled on the combos led for decades by one of his idols, Mongo Santamaria -- rarely features dazzling soloists, but the rhythmic juices are always flowing. Sanchez is a super conguero who keeps his band firmly in the pocket. This generous and well-chosen sampler showcases Sanchez...
