"an eclectic collection of Latin Jazz"
From the "MAMBO KING" (Tito Puente) to "BOMBA-RIQUEN" (Ray Barretto), The Colors of Latin Jazz flies high with this wonderful series from Concord Records. An eclectic collection of Latin jazz featuring the diverse rhythms of a variety of Latin cultures, from Brazil to Cuba to Puerto Rico.
This fourth album in a series of six collections presents non-stop samba, bomba, cha-cha, mambo, soca, charanga and maracatu' with more than a toe-tapping beat. So put on your dancing shoes and grab a partner for thirteen of the most electrifying tracks you'll ever need to shine on the dancefloor.
An album not to be missed for all the Latin jazz lovers in today's upbeat dance-world, has everything you could want in a compilation to satisfy the most descriptive moods for your Colors of the Latin Jazz series!

a real nice collection of Latin Jazz
I picked this up at Virgin for $10; had I gotten it at Amazon for half that I would've given it 5/5. As such, at 13 songs, though some are long, it's just not enough. Why only 63mins? I am sure they could've filled up the CD. However, this sounds like something made for the American audience, just as the numerous "Gypsy", "New Gypsy" collections are. I am not sure this is real pure Latin music as is played there.
The same artists, mostly 5, appear on all other CoLJ: albums. Thus, you are better off getting their albums instead of these collections.
