Editorial Reviews

There have been several Latin Jazz compilations in recent years, featuring everything from Brazilian Jazz to latin tracks that just aren't based on true jazz at all. The Jazz Café's Adrian Gibson has made it his mission with the very best of Latin Jazz to redress the balance and create a Latin Jazz compilation that "does what it says it should do on the cover!" So If you like your classic jazz tracks given the latin treatment this album is for you - this album includes timeless classics such as Afrodisia, Milestones, The Sidewinder, Love For Sale and many more. Also features an array of "true" Latin Jazz luminaries - Ray Baretto, Ella Fitgerald, NuYorican Soul, Tito Puente, Jack Constanzo, Cachao, Pucho & the Latin Soul Brothers, Snowboy and many others!!! This is Latin Jazz - The Real Deal... and with some serious groove, baby! Nascente Records. 2005. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
