PUTAMAYO PRESENTS LATIN JAZZ |  |
Description:
The set provides a satisfactory, superb quality introduction. While many major artists are missing it does get to a good number of the pioneering trendsetters: Machito who opens the set with "Congo Mulence," in tandem with Cannonball Adderley, Ray Barretto with a smooth, breezy "Sumemrtime", Eddie Palmieri, Poncho Sanchez, and, of course, the all time Latin jazz legend, Tito Puente. The late pianist Hilton Ruiz, on his "Steppin' with T.P.," bridges standard tropical Latin rhythms with increasingly complex instrumental work, while Icelandic bassist/composer Tomas Einarsson, the only artist here not from Cuba, Puerto Rico, or the U.S., ably demonstrates on his "Rumdrum" that the genre's reach is continually expanding beyond its usual geographic borders. |
