Latin Beat Jazz Heat

At first, there was the blues and jazz and then there was Latin music -- Cuban, Puerto Rican, Caribbean, Brazilian and more. Once Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo joined music forces, the percolating and uplifting rhythms of Latin music were infused with the fire of jazz improvisation and harmony and the music world was changed forever. The modern masters of the Latin-Jazz genre heard here not only maintain the spice and heat of their forbearers, but they are advancing this irresistible music force. Feel free to dance -- it's as much for the feet, as it is for the head. Featured artists include Dave Valentin, Steve Turre, Sammy Figueroa, Ray Mantilla, Bill O'Connell, Silvano Monasterios and Santi Debriano.
