5.0 out of 5 stars "Cha-Cha-Cha-Tito Puente & His Orch.-Live At Grossinger's", May 5, 2000

This review is from: Cha Cha Cha: Live at Grossinger's (Audio CD)

In this "collector's item" CD, are the Dec.1959, RCA live recordings by "King Tito & His Orchestra's at the famous Catskill Mts.resort "Grossinger's Hotel", in Liberty, N.Y. Tropical Series producer Domingo Echevarria and his engineer Dick Baxter did an excellent job in this 1996 re-issue. Screen & theatre classics like "Kismet's Baubles, Bangles & Beads" and also, Cha-Cha-Cha and even mambo versions of "How High The Moon", "Grossinger's Cha Cha", "Puente At Grossinger's, "Managua, Nicaragua", "Miami Beach Cha-Cha" and the album's ending "Philadelphia Mambo", have greater rhythm and pep when played and recorded live. If you are a Puente fan, you do not want to miss this CD. Its a must for all afro-cuban music collectors!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Live Album by Tito Puente and His Orchestra, December 31, 2000

This review is from: Cha Cha Cha: Live at Grossinger's (Audio CD)

This album was made in 1959 "Live At The Grossiner's Hotel" in Liberty NY. The reason I like it so much is because of all the great songs like How High The Moon, Miami Beach Cha Cha Cha and At The Balalaika to mention a few. The album also has Puente playing the timables and vibes. So if you are a Tito Puente fan you don't want to miss this great cd.
