Nu Yorican

Harlem River Drive was the brainchild of latin jazz pianist Eddie Palmieri. Assembling a supergroup of black and Puetro Rican musicians from New York City, this is a jam-oriented album that combines funk, soul and salsa. This album is only about a half-hour, but it is a very often overlooked chapter in the history of Afro-Latin jazz. This is just amazing stuff.

Latin Vibes From A White Guy

Don't get scared off cause it's a white guy. Cal Tjader was a fierce contributor towards latin jazz, and remained with this music long after it had gone out of fashion amongst jazz musicians. This album in particular is quite lively, and quite purist. This is not south-of-the-border cocktail jazz. This is the real thing.
