Latin Jazz Music

A hard to find gem this was to be the fantastic Tito Rodriguez's farewell performance. He died of Luekemia a few months later. The band is made up of the great Machito orchestra's musicians and you can tell Rodriguez was saying his goodbye. No liner notes, but the usual superb vocal stylings and and Salsa the way it should be served-caliente.

If you are a Tito Rodriguez fan, and if you enjoy the best merger of Mambo-Jazz-exquisite vocals, you will search this hard to find final recording as Tito passed only months later-too young at only 51. No liner notes-as usual-which is a shame- but the recording sounds like the Jazz musicians from Machito's superb band were with Tito as he sang and played timbals well, and thanked his legion of fans. Ricky Martin is great, Tito Puente was great, but nobody could sing and lead an incredible hot band the way Tito could. Someone needs to make his life into a movie, and soon.

They've picked the PERFECT selection of songs. Each one is glorious. The medleys are superb. Get this CD. You won't regret it.

Aqui tito nos presenta con una multitud de canciones de diferentes compositores latinoamericanos, con los cuales se identificaba enormemente y nos muestra todo su encanto de gran "Showman", digamoslo en formato latino. Hace chistes, incluye al publico en su presentacion. hace honores a Rafael Hernandez, canta su inolvidable tema "Inolvidablemente" en dos ocasiones y nos lleva a revivir con gran nostalgia aquellas bellas canciones a cuyo acordes nos hemos enamorado un gran porcentaje de los latinoamericanos. En resumen, un gran honor a su obra como hombre y como artista.
