Well, I must say I've only been listening to Tito Puente of about 3 years now and I got into his music because my mom tld me how great he was boy am I glad she did. I thinbk this album is great with all the great songs and the great passion he does in his music. This cd is very good because once you start listening to it the first time you can't help but listen to it everyday. This album has everything slow jazz tracks and slow jazz tracks my favorite is the last song called Lambada Timbales because it truly shows why Tito Puente is the undisputed "King Of The Timbales" If you want a high engery jazz cd get this one you won't be disapointed.

This album is a "must have" for any fan of Tito! You will hear why Tito is known as "El Rey Del Timbal"! Add this one to your collection NOW! Fortunately, I happened to catch a cut from this CD on my local jazz station one night; I just had to have it! Splendid Tito, splendid! Que Dios te bendiga!

Up front, I have only heard 1 track from this CD. Tito and the other percussionists kept up a great Latin beat as ever, and the horns were sweet and hot. I sat in the car to hear it thru to the end. Wish I knew more, sorry.
Hard to compare this with his stuff from the 1950s. The Concord period might be called conservative in terms of song selection, but the sound quality is flawless.
Hope others can contribute specifics like personnel and dates.
