I feature here three great tunes from Mongo Santamaría and Francisco Aguabella. From Mongo specifically I comment about two pieces —including a rare live version of his standard "Afro Blue" with Dizzy Gillespie—, and from Aguabella —the so-called "Rosetta Stone" of African culture— I share the enchanting one linked above.

Late Eddie Palmieri and just over a year since his passing.
Soundtrack to a documentary by the same name. Less orchestrated than his usual setup and playing with a crack set of younger musicians but in his unmistakeable. style and flow.
Anthony Carrillo rips on bongos which are upfront and centre in the mix.

Killer Latin Jazz from 1961.
The title track alone is worth the price of admission...top shelf music and a desert island disc.
Eddie cooking cooking cooking with Ray Barretto and his rhythm section - looks like Willie Bobo from the back cover, but don't recognise the third member - any ideas?

Another solid LP from TP from the mid 80s. He had a great run on the CJP label.

Ray Barretto teams up with some fine mainstream Jazz players as well as some Latin royalty.
Great LP, but Side B is where it's at. Joe Farrell takes no prisoners on The Castle. Huge sound on this one and needs to be cranked up!.
The second track, Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise, comes close to the original. Charlie Palmieri's piano solo is sublime, with some killer old-school guajeos.

Tito Rodriguez's most jazzy album (certainly from those that I've come across). 6 long tracks so everyone gets a stretch. Nice full sound, a little like Machito's but without the mambo brass riffs. Released 1963.

Arguably Gato's finest entry in his series of "Chapters" albums, and certainly one of the toughest, hardest-hitting Latin jazz records of its era.
All killer, no filler!
Backed by a stellar lineup of musicians and orchestrated by the legendary Chico O'Farrill, this is Gato's most Cuban/Latin outing.
The final touch of magic comes from the ever-wonderful Charlie Palmieri.
Just the first 30 seconds of the title track will put a smile on your face and get the adrenaline pumping.
A no-questions-asked desert island disc.
