Are you the Tito Puente type? Like to live your life to the beat of hot latin rhythms? Then it’s time to get yourself plugged into the Latin Giants of Jazz. I’ve been mamboing my way through the house and down the street to the sounds of two of their CD’s: Ven Baila Conmigo! and Trip to Mamboland. Both CD’s play homage to Tito Puente, and they do it masterfully. In fact, Ven Baila Conmigo! includes several all-stars from the former Tito Puente Orchestra. There’s just something about the Puente musical style that won’t let you sit still, from the moment you press play. Each CD contains 13 tracks, so you know you’ll be moving for awhile!
Perfect background music for a tropical summer party, The Latin Giants of Jazz goes well with mojitos and Cuba Libres, friends and lively conversation - or turn it up louder and rip up the dance floor! Don’t believe me? Just check out this video of No Me Molesto shot live at Birdland, NYC.
Incidentally, you can hear No Me Molesto on their Trip to Mamboland CD on sale at CDBaby. And of course for more Latin Jazz fun, be sure to check out their CD Ven Baila Conmigo! Your parties will never be the same again. Nor will your dancing shoes…
Oh yes! That does just make me want to get up and dance! I am definitely going to have to put Latin Giants of Jazz on my wish-list.
Reminds me of the great music from “Mambo Kings” My hips are swaying, side to side and round and round 😉
I have to agree with the Mambo Kings comment. Latin Giants are great too!
