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!

(Mono pressing with deep groove and 1s stampers! Cover has a half split top seam, with heavy aging on the back. The front looks nice overall!)
Tito Puente —
Dance Mania ... LP RCA, 1958. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A burner of a set from Tito Puente – very well titled to suit the energy of the session! The tracks are all highly rhythmic numbers – short, but filled with jazzy horn flourishes and the kind of snapping rhythms that made the Puente group one of the biggest crossover favorites of the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original mono pressing with deep groove and 1s stampers! Cover has a small top seam split, with heavy aging on the back. The front looks nice overall.)
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 ... (Jazz, Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Great early pressing – red label with deep groove! Cover has very light wear in one corner, but looks great overall. Vinyl is nice and clean.)
Luis Perico Ortiz —
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! The session's a bit fuller than some of the other LP albums – a crackling blend of jazz, funk, and Latin rhythms – warm, but with some pretty complicated moments, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some wear and a few creases – vinyl is nice and clean.)
Ricardo Ray —
Three Dimensions – A Goza With Ricardo Ray ... LP Fonseca, Mid 60s. Very Good ... $99.99
Amazing early work from Ricardo Ray – material that's got a lot more fire than some of his better-known sides from the 70s! The album's a stone cooker all the way through – played by a tight young group with lots of descarga energy in their blood, and some of the pre-Latin Soul styles ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Three Dimensions – A Goza With Ricardo Ray ... LP 18.99(Rare early pressing – blue vinyl and black labels!)
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
(Red and green label Broadway pressing – nice and clean. Cover has one very small mark in pen.)
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
(Mono black label pressing. Cover has light wear and aging, with a small name in pen and an ink stamp in back.)

Ernesto Hill Olvera —
Ernesto Hill Olvera – Y El Organo Que Habla ... 7-inch 
RCA (Mexico), Late 1950s. Very Good (pic cover)... $5.99
Organ instrumentals, mostly with a mellow, eerie vibe – a bit like Korla Pandit! (Funky 45's, Latin) 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Sleeve has some wear & aging.)
Abbe Lane with Tito Puente —
Be Mine Tonight ... LP RCA, 1959. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Classic 50s work from vocalist Abbe Lane – and a record that's made all the better by some great arrangements from Tito Puente! Abbe's getting past the sexy tricks of other records here – and singing in a dusky tone that works perfect with Tito's tight, choppy, and highly percussive ...

(Gorgeous Japanese pressing, with insert and printed inner sleeve.)
Pete Rodriguez & His Orchestra —
Hot & Wild/Alegre, 1968. Very Good+ ... $28.99
Hot and wild – two of the best words you could use to describe the late 60s Latin Soul material of Pete Rodriguez – especially on an album like this! This album has Pete and his combo at their best – stepping effortlessly between English-language, soul-based tracks – and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label stereo pressing with Bell Sound stamp. Cover has a light bump in one corner, and a cutout hole – but this is a great copy overall.)
Chucho Valdes —
Chucho's Steps ... CD 
4Q, 2010. Used ... $8.99
A nicely grooving album from Cuban jazz piano great Chucho Valdes – sounding as lively and vital as he has in years on Chucho's Steps!

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 ...
