Best Of Tito Puente ... LP 
RCA, Late 50s/Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!

Tito Puente —
Top Percussion ... LP RCA, 1958. Very Good+ ... $16.99
One of the greatest Tito Puente albums from the 50s, and a spare percussion jam session that's right up there with his legendary Puente In Percussion album! The group features Mongo Santamaria, Bill Correa, Julito Collazo, and Enrigue Marti on percussion with Tito – and the only other ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Tito Puente —
Dance Mania ... LP RCA, 1958. Very Good+ ... $39.99
A burner of a set from Tito Puente – very well titled to suit the energy of the session!

Johnny Rae's Afro Jazz Septet —
Herbie Mann's African Suite ... LP United Artists, 1962. Very Good ... $23.99
A confusing title, but a wonderful little record! The album's as much a Herbie Mann Latin session as it is a record by Johnny Rae – which is probably why the album's titled as such – and the group on the set features Rae on vibes, Herbie on flute, Jack Six on bass, Philly Joe Jones on ...

My Own Image ... LP Turnstyle, 1978. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
A hell of a trumpeter – making his debut here on one of the grooviest albums on the legendary Latin Percussion label!

Ricardo Ray —

Amazing early work from Ricardo Ray – material that's got a lot more fire than some of his better-known sides from the 70s!

Charlie Palmieri —
Latin Bugalu ... LP Atlantic, 1968. Very Good ... Just Sold Out!
One of Charlie Palmieri's best records from the 60s! The session is an obscure one-off done for Atlantic in 1968 – and for some reason, the record was never issued as widely as some of Charlie's other sides for smaller labels during the time, making it one of the most hard-to-find chapters ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Joe Loco —
Mambo Moods ... LP Tico, 1956. Near Mint- ... $29.99
Seemed like Joe was always in a mambo mood at the time he was making these sides for Tico – but that's A-OK with us, as the record's a corker – tight little grooves in Joe's best percussion/piano format! A few tracks even have some vibes, which makes for a nice sound – and titles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Clark Terry & Chico O'Farrill —
Spanish Rice ... CD Impulse, 1966. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Sweet Latin licks from Clark Terry and Chico O'Farrill – cut in a mode that's very similar to O'Farrill's best Verve work of the 60s! The vibe is kind of a mod take on Afro Cuban sounds – not really Latin soul, but with a playful vibe that mixes together jazz and Latin with equal parts ... (Jazz, Latin) read more CD

RCA, 1958. Very Good ... $78.99

Roulette, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A surprisingly groovy record!

A great little record – and a prime example of the strong Jewish/Latin crossover that was going on in the late 50s and early 60s.
