This CD from GB has music from Xavier Cugats period on Mercury, about 1958-1964. Very good with swinging beat. I onw about 55 CDs with Xavier Cugat and many old LPs too. Anybody who wants to discuss this music is welcome to write to me.

If you are looking for Xavier Cugat original style of playing this album will not disappoint you. The title selection contains some of his most popular songs namely "Fly Me To the Moon", "Green Eyes", Papa Loves Mambo" and many more. His music in the traditional Cuban Latin style is the closes you can find with a touch of the ballroom sophistication. His ability to have variety in his percussion rhythm section makes his music much more interesting and a pleasure to listen or dance to.

If you are a sucker for the old Latin tunes of the 40's and 50's, get this CD quick. It includes some of the most popular songs of the era, with excellent arrangements. I have many similar CDs this is by far the best.
