I've owned this cd for a year now and today I played it for the first time in several months and I had forgen how great it was. Not to mention it has an allstar jazz artists on it including Hilton Ruiz, Mongo Santamaria, Dave Valentin, and James Moody. It has a lot of jazz tracks and a little bit of latin jazz. So if your in the moody for a great jazz album this is the one for you.

This is one of those rare albums that makes you forget about your problems, and that by itself is wonderful!!! I can assure you the moment you start playing this album you'll start moving your feet...and the best is that you can hear it at your house, office, car, etc...
Golden Latin Jazz All Stars: In Session does the trick, an exeptional combination of good jazz and Tito's magic rythms and sounds...

I must concur with the other reviewers in saying that this is a latin jazz gem. It's smooth, like a good aged wine. There's descarga in here too, but the interplay between the instruments and the arrangements are really the gold of this album. Simply put, some of the world's best musicians (certainly the best in Latin music, although they are versatile enough to play anything) coming together in harmony for a CD that does justice to the Latin Jazz movement as a whole. If there ever was a latin jazz album, it's this one. I'd highly recommend it, along with other's, like GIovanni Hidalgo's Worldwide and other CDs. Good music.
