Thanks in advance >>
1999's Tony Martinez and The Cuban Power's _Mafarefun_ is absolutely phenomenal- one of the best Latin jazz CDs ever, IMO. Tito Puente/Eddie Palmieri's just-released _Masterpiece/Obra Maestra_ is a great fusion of Latin dance and jazz with a wall of horns. Irakere is hit and miss, but the _Best of_ on Columbia and _Live at Ronnie Scott's_ are both great outings. Puente's _Mambo Birdland_ is another worth checking out. Chucho Valdes and Paquito Rivera (both ex-Irakere) both have several albums worth checking out. Cubanismo! have 3 CDs of pre-Castro-styled music that are all wonderful. NG LaBanda (an offshoot of Irakere) have 3 CDs that are great. Machete Ensemble...did I mention them...?
I'll think of more in the next few hours...;-)
