Editor's Pick:
"Check out a young Tito Puente together with Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo and Patato Valdes." (Rudolph Mangual, 98/99 Catalog)
"This is the most incredible recorded percussion session in history. I am thrilled that it has finally been released on CD. It was recorded in the mid-50s. Tito's only invited guests were Willie Bobo, Patato Valdes, Mongo Santamaria and, I think, it's Bobby Rodriguez on bass. Legend has it that a bottle of rum was passed around, and then it was placed on the floor, surrounded by these giants, as the session began. Mongo told me that there was no rehearsal. You've got to hear it to believe it. The recording is absolutely crisp. It sounds like a recent recording. This historical CD is the stuff of legend." (José Rizo, 98/99 Catalog) (DR, 2009-05-22)
