2 THUMBS WAAAAAAY UP!!!!!!!!
Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2000-10-25
$11.97 very well spent!!! This CD is simply spectacular!!! It contains original tropical rythms like mambo, guaracha, merengue and bomba. The music is very pure in its form and more ethnic than today's salsa and merengue. These are the classic performers at their very best. The repertoire includes the famous Sonora Matancera, featuring the vocals of Bobby Capó, Johnny López, Vicentico Valdez and the indisputed queen of salsa, Celia Cruz. To add flavor to the CD, you can enjoy the music Cheo Feliciano, Machito, Dámaso Pérez Prado, Nelson Pinedo, Ray Caney, Ismael Rivera and many other congueros who have claimed their popularity across all generations. This is truly the CD of the "Ambassadors of Rythm," the musicians who spearheaded a craze for popular Latin dance music all over the US in the 40s, 50's and 60's. A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR COLLECTION ... I GUARANTEE YOU WON'T FIND IT ANYWHERE ELSE BUT HERE, ON AMAZON.COM ... BUY IT NOW!!!! ... 2 THUMBS WAAAAAAAY UP!!!

Good musicianship, but poor interpretation
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 2 total.
Review Date: 2000-01-12
Having played the Histoire du Tango sax quartet, and winning a competition with it, I was interested in listening to the interpretation of this group. Yes they get the notes right, and they play well as a group, but let me make one thing clear--this piece is NOT jazz. The jazzy scoops into the pretty, slow sections of the Cafe 1930 just make one keel over in pain--any true Piazzolla fan would do the same. This group seems to have a jazz background, which is fine, but they need to pay justice to the music and stylistically. Nowhere in Piazzolla music, even when he's playing with Gerry Mulligan, jazz saxophonist, does ANYONE stray so far stylistically. I guess it's up to them on how to interpret the music, but if they have to do those horrible pitch bends, they could do it the correct, and much better sounding way of lifting a key or two for an extra note instead of bending one note. Good group, but after spending so much time and effort and emotion on this piece myself, hearing it interpreted that way is a stake through the heart.

Talented Ambition
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2002-11-06
With controversial lyrics, head bobbin' beats, and various guest artists this album American Famine has so many different flavors. From jazzy horns to classic piano to synth and strings, this album creates a new feel to hip hop. Profit's vocals are fierce, his lyrics are brutally honest, he speaks about how difficult the world can be. Shows so much talent and ambition. The album means a lot to me!

Profit offers amazing debut album

Review Date: 2002-11-05
American Famine is a phenomenal debut album. In it, Profit creates a lush multi-layered musical soundscape with the live band. The innovative and creative beats wrap around lyrics that can only be described as poignant, real, hard-hitting, on point and most desparately needed in these dark and last days. This album helps breathe new life back into hip hop.

Surprised me twice
Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2008-03-20
When I first bought this many years ago, I was quite surprised at how cheesy it sounded. I almost threw it away. At the time I was into hot big band and faster, higher, louder! What one expected from Sandoval. The other day this came on shuffle and I couldn't get over to change it right away. I honestly couldn't even remember what CD it was. About the third song in, I was mesmorized at the beautiful playing I was hearing. I really like this album now - for what it is - beautiful melodies and excellent solo trumpet/flugel. Sometimes the backup is annoying, but usually it is quite pretty and nice. I'm glad I didn't throw it away after all.

A big disapointment. I got the cd at an Arturo concert. A great, burnin' highnote concert. On the way home I tried listening to it but couldn't stand it. The only plus that I give the cd is that he plays the fluff-filled remakes very nicely. If you are looking for popular music remakes, this is the cd for you. If you are looking for standard Arturo, look elsewhere. I will never listen to this cd again.

Hey wut the heck is wrong with you. Elevator music? Since when has a triple G been elevator music? Maybe if the elevator was falling straight down i would agree with you.

Fine effort which shows Sandoval's multidimensionality

The people who complain about this CD think that all AS can do is play jazz. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Sandoval, a true Renaissance musician, can play everything from classical to funk to jazz and everything inbetween. This CD is a loving tribute to his new country, which finally gave him citizenship after too many years of waiting.

If all you are looking for is stereotypes, don't look here. If your horizons are broad, this is a wonderful addition to your collection featuring one of the greatest trumpeters of all times. I've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with AS - what a super person he is.

Great tribute album to American pop music.

This is the type of album that purists will probably not enjoy. If you always expect Arturo to do something like Flight To Freedom, Hot House, Straight Ahead, L.A. Meetings or Trumpet Evolution, you'll probably be disappointed with this one. If you like Arturo as a musician and not just a latin jazz trumpeter then this album is great to hear. Arturo plays beautiful, musical phrases on flugelhorn and trumpet. Americana is a tribute to the United States in a sense that he has just finally gained citizenship (after about eight or nine years). The songs here are popular songs of today's American culture. Arturo solos sweetly on a latinized version of Billy Joel's "Just The Way You Are", and takes muted trumpet and plays Janet Jackson's awful "Come Back To Me" pretty well. Probably the most jazz-like tunes in this set are "Englishman In New York" (by Sting), "Let's Stay Together" (Al Green), "Isn't She Lovely" (Stevie Wonder) and "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie. The muted trumpet solo from Arturo on "Englishman In New York" is awesome, he keeps ascending and hits a Triple-G#, playing confidently throughout. I love "Let's Stay Together", it swings and pays tribute to the original beautifully. "All Night Long" is given the Cuban flavor and Arturo and the band really rip it on this song. Arturo shows off his brilliant showmanship on "Isn't She Lovely", and more beautiful ballad work on songs like "She's Out Of My Life" by Michael Jackson, although with plenty more.

If you're looking for Arturo in his normal form, buy one of the other albums I mentioned above. If you want a great, commercial-sounding Arturo album, this is it. Just because he is playing pop songs doesn't mean he isn't still playing with confidence and he still goes crazy. Not a must-buy, but a very solid album in its own right.
