Latin Jazz!
For some reason I'm finding a lot of latin jazz lately in the stores & thrifts... Since it's cold and rainy out, here are some top tuned to have you thinking summer.
Pete Terrace - I Love Paris - you wouldn't think that a record of Cole Porter songs could swing like this! From 1960.
Machito - Mambo! Serious players here - Charley Parker on Sax, Buddy Rich on drums... and a hot mambo - check out the piano at the end. 1961, I think.
Candido - Tin Tin Deo - With Oscar Pettiford. 1957!
Finally, both the Beny More and the Tito Puente records do the same track - Babaratiri - I prefer the Beny More version, but take a listen to both, see for yourself!
