Carmen Cavallaro —
With That Latin Beat ... LP Decca, 1959. Very Good+ ... $6.99
The frenzied piano of Carmen Cavallaro gets a nice does of Latin rhythms on this set – and the set's a great example of the way that cocktail piano and Latin were strongly linked in the New York scene of the 50s! Carmen's style here is certainly different than that of Joe Loco, Noro Morales, ... (Now Sound, Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Pete Rodriguez —
El Conde ... LP Fania, 1974. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
The classic first album as a solo act from Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez – not the boogaloo artist with the same first and last name, but the singer who'd rose to fame on a series of classic albums with Johnny Pacheco! The style here is rich and soulful – a return to tradition in ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sonora Matancera/Seeco, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $9.99

El Bestial Sonido ... LP Vaya, 1971. Very Good+ ... $43.99
One of the real standouts in the career of Ricardo Ray and Bobby Cruz – a record of incredible tightness, and one that set a whole new level for Puerto Rican salsa in the 70s! There's still a few traces here of the Latin Soul years – sometimes in the rhythms, at other times in the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Los Aguilas – The Eagles ... LP Fania, 1982. Near Mint- ... $28.99

Cal Tjader —
Night At The Blackhawk ... LP Fantasy, 1958. Very Good ... $16.99
One of Cal Tjader's best late 50s dates for Fantasy Records – thanks to some smoking tenor sax from Jose "Chombo" Silva! The album has Cal working in the very comfortable territory of San Francisco's Blackhawk Nightclub – in a combo that also features familiar players Vince ...
