| | Essential Tito Puente CD Tito Puente Discography of CDs
A remarkably well selected two-disc collection, THE ESSENTIAL TITO PUENTE focuses on the Latin-music icon's heyday, from 1949 to 1960. Endlessly enthusiastic, undeniably charming, and prodigiously talented, Puente was the king of New York City's mambo scene in the '50s, fascinating jubilant crowds at the Palladium and other esteemed venues with his stunning skill as both a bandleader and a percussionist. Highlights of this amazingly solid set include the lively "Mambo Gozon," the frenetic "Pa' Los Rumberos," and the utterly infectious "Oye Como Va," later famously covered by Santana. All of these tunes feature boisterous horn charts and an intricate web of percussion, making them instantly appealing. Anyone with even the slightest interest in Latin music will enjoy this excellent 40-track compilation.
Personnel: Tito Puente (vocals, vibraphone, timbales); Graciela, Vicentico Vald�s (vocals); Johnny Pacheco (flute); Doc Severinsen, Bernie Glow, Vincent Frisaura (trumpet); Gilbert Lopez, Alvin Gellers, Ray Concepcion (piano); Robert Rodriguez (acoustic bass); Manny Oquendo, Mongo Santamar�a, Ray Barretto, Candido Camero, Carlos "Patato" Valdes (congas); Ray Rodriguez, Willie Bobo, Jose Mangual (bongos).

Essential Tito Puente CD music
$15.65
Singing jazz pianists haven't always gotten a fair shake from critics, but Tony DeSare's CD debut for Telarc demonstrates a potential to win them over while also appealing to a wider audience. Backed by a swinging band that includes veteran guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli, DeSare's warm vocals are complemented by his piano chops in the brisk workout of "Just in Time." It is also refreshing to hear a performer mine overlooked gems like Cy Coleman's "Baby Dream Your Dream," "We've Got a World That Swings," and a campy striding instrumental arrangement of the oldie "Five ...

And her serious song about eating disorders (Calories) manages to inspire without preaching.”Dallas Morning News“(Peter) Gallway did a great job of supporting Janet’s excellent guitar work and arrangements.
