Customer Reviews

Good Edition in Good Series
There is some uneven and repetitive stuff in here but also some gem classics that warrant a four star rating. Favorite tracks are 2/8/10/11, Ray Barretto is as usual very good, Pete Escovedo brings the house down with his number, Tania Maria is funky, and Ed Calle finds that middle groove and rides it. As with most editions in this series there are renditions of classics "Oye Como Va" and "Watermelon Man". Some throw away stuff: Monty Alexander has never done it for me and Hendrik Muelens number is below par. Pick it up for its good overview of latin jazz classics and the slammin' Pete Escovedo track.

A Rainbow of Rhythms alright!
I got hold of the CD just recently, started to listen and was hooked right away. From beginning to end the CD is simply Fantastic.
The selection of tracks from Tito Puente to Mongo SantaMaría is formidable. I seriously and without the shadow of a doubt recommend this CD to anyone interested in good music and following the pace of good Jazz with Latin Flavor infusions.

"come join the Latin party of SOUL SAUCE"
This third installment of the ongoing series - "THE COLORS OF LATIN JAZZ - SOUL SAUCE" by Concord Records highlights the best performances in one of the most colorful of musical genres, the combination of Latin and Jazz. This collection is hot, incessantly groovin', can turn any gathering into an instant Latin jazz party. Many tracks are soulful, with the funky side of Latin jazz, which gives us "Soul Sauce".

Stand outs - "WATERMELON MAN" featuring Poncho Sanchez with special guest Mongo Santamaria - "OYE COMO VA" with the one-and-only Tito Puente and His Latin Ensemble - "GUACHI GUARO (SOUL SAUCE)" a soul-beat experience featuring Cal Tjader - "RUM & COKE (CUBA LIBRE)" non-stop Latin rhythm with Ed Calle.

This is one to have, a great addition to your collection - "THE COLORS OF LATIN JAZZ!" Concord Records, what will you think of next?
