This review is from: Best of Concord Years (Audio CD)
Greatest timbalero of all times, we miss Tito so much for his passion he communicated so well and for the unique "savor" of his music. The selection is a real "Best of T.P.", even though a three-CDs Compilation is actually the "Best of T.P.": Ran Kan Kan, Oye Como Va, Take Five, Picadillo a la Puente, just to cite a few, are some of the masterpieces standing high among our latin jazz favorites. All artists collaborating are the best for their instruments, including Aguabella, Maynard Ferguson and great violinist Alfredo de la Fè. Do not miss it if you don't want to buy all the single records/CDs of Tito.
