5.0 out of 5 stars Smoking, September 23, 2004

This album smokes. Jazz fans listen up. Popular music could really use a shot of this kind of influence. And if you've never seen Paquito live, go now or you'll regret that you've been missing it for so long when you realize how good this music is. Nothing lasts forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Six Stars!!!, March 29, 2006

Chris Ruel (Maryland USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 40 Years of Cuban Jam (Audio CD)

I can't believe any self-respecting jazz aficionado would give this album anything less than a 5 star rating.
Paquito is simply THE reigning master of Latin / Cuban jazz and this is one of his finest efforts.
Paquito is lyrical beyond imagination and his inspiring, melodical themes are unmatched in any style of music.
As if that weren't enough, the percussion and rhythm sections on this album are phenomenal. The jam / groove arrangements are intoxicatingly exuberant.
This album is Afro-Cuban rhythms and Latin jazz at its pinnacle.
Paquito's classical polish brings a degree of sophistication and elegance that puts him in a class of his own.
This CD is and always will be on the top shelf of my collection. It is timeless perfection.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 stars for genius c.d., October 21, 2002

shirley meye (Bonaire ( Dutch Carribean )) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 40 Years of Cuban Jam (Audio CD)

This c.d. is a must have for any latin jazz collectionist.
This c.d. is a real taste and smell of Cuban culture.
It is so genius that I have never ( untill now ) treasured a c.d. so much, that when I die I want to be burried with it.
Cachito was spectacular on this album, it's as if Cuba is in my back yard everytime I listen to this album.
Ten thumbs up for this incredible album.
