EditorsPick: Oh man, another great record from the Venezuela/Cuba/U.S. matrix. Grau, a pianist and bandleader from Venezuela (by way of Berklee College of Music in Boston) and participant in a bunch of important projects (search this website and you'll see what I mean), has changed the name of his band from La Timba Loca to La Clave Secreta, and has put out a pretty much amazing timba dance record that suggests that timba is going to be the lengua franca of modern Caribbean dance music. It's timba made international, by which I mean that it takes away the insularity of Cuban timba (think crappy keyboard sounds) and brings it into a more experimental place. Grau's a great writer and arranger and he takes on some standards, like Willie Colon's "Calle Luna, Calle Sol," bringing a sophistication to the coro; on all the tunes there's an attention to detail that's just spectacular arranging. The music opens up into new rooms over and over again, new colors and textures, wanders into timba breaks, piano montunos, spoken works pieces, driving horn lines. This is for fans of Guaco, timba, Goza Pepillo, Descemer, Robertito Carcasses, Azucar Negra, etc.: all the new and old bands that aren't worried about taking on timba and bringing to it the modern world of experience. Glorious, this stuff.

Venezuela's answer to King Bongó, this crew is pumped up and eager to demonstrate their brand of high octane Salsa Explosiva. "Ponte Pila" just might fry your DVD player.

EditorsPick: Ruiz, in 2004, convened an extraordinary group, including George Coleman on saxophones, Leon Dorsey on bass and Grady Tate on drums. It's a straight-ahead jazz session, the sort, that if one heard it on the radio, would make you wonder who it was. Per usual, Coleman, a giant saxophonist, plays lines that are filled with substitutions, cramming his solos with harmony. The recording itself is beyond fine, with every tap of Grady Tate's drumming easily heard. And Ruiz's playing, in this context, is perfectly idiomatic; the man could play the blues and swing. It's a language that's rapidly being forgotten, straight ahead swing, and Ruiz was a master. This is beauty in the form of music, highly intelligent, relaxed, verbal without being overwrought. It's music that could only be made by adults.

EditorsPick: Another piece of amazing music by Ruiz, but this one a solo recording. From the opening blues "Home Cooking" to the end of the album, Ruiz's time is astonishing, as is his ability to move between clave feeling and straight ahead swing; his bebop playing is fairly perfect, and on "Michael's Mambo" it's hard not to fall in love with his montuno playing, filled with space and percussion at the same time. This is a serious document by a serious player whose death in 2006 was a real loss to the cultural life of the United States.

EditorsPick: A thoroughly enjoyable homestyle salsa dura album from bassist Nelson Torres. No-nonsense double trombone attack, upfront and meaty bass, hypnotic piano, and thankfully, a tres that can actually be heard (many albums seem to leave the tres way down in the mix these days). The arrangements call to mind golden 70's era "garage" burners from small label groups like Brooklyn Sounds or Wayne Gorbea. Some of the vocals sound like they were recorded in a living room, which I love - this record has cojones. Though the album starts with the millionth cover of that old warhorse "Anacaona," with other chestnuts like "Mango Mangue" and "Plante Bandera" to boot, these classics are well done here, and the originals are nice too. Standouts are two jams sung primarily by Spanish Harlem Orchestra vocalist Willy Torres, who has a warm and authentic style: the infectious party tune "Las Muchachas" and Willy's own salsa brava composition, "Llegaron Los Cantantes" (a hot musical throw-down between soneros). Support your local independent productions, and grab this heartfelt and honest recording today.

EditorsPick: Multitalented Peruvian percussionist and bandleader Coco Lagos is slowly gaining recognition among Latin music fans outside of South America. If you like the '50s and '60s descarga jam sessions by Cachao, the Tico-Alegre Allstars, or Bebo Valdés, you owe it to yourself to pick up this gem from the MAG label, recorded in Lima in 1968. Though there is a feeling of looseness overall, and plenty of hot soloing for each instrument, these recordings are somewhat tighter than the Tico-Alegre Allstars, and feature more vocals than Cachao. There is a gritty, hard-core feel to many of these tunes, and to me they sound much more like salsa than so-called Latin jazz - kind of like Joe Cuba meets Eddie Palmieri. Joining Coco on the date is the ace MAG in-house studio team of Mario Allison on timbales, Nilo Espinosa on sax, the great arranger/composer Alfredo Linares on piano (and bass along with Joe di Roma), Tito Chicoma on trumpet, Charlie Palomares on vibes, with Kiko Fuentes, Carlos Muñoz, and the guy with the 'old man voice', Melocochita, on vocals. Great sound quality and packaging, this reissue fits right in with Vampisoul's Peruvian "¡Gózalo!" series. A must have for any serious lover of Latin music, and closes the gap on the untold story of Peru's role in spreading Antillean music beyond the Caribbean.

EditorsPick: Puerto Rican singer Noel Diaz "El Titan de la Salsa" has been performing since 1987, and his new album is a consistent mix of straight ahead salsa with reggaetón and salsa romántica touches. Though Diaz does not possess a distinctive voice, all the tunes are original, and the album does showcase some fine musical backing. Featuring pianist Lucho Cueto, bassist Máximo Rodriguez, percussionists Roberto Quintero and José Mangual Jr., nice coros by Mangual, Jr. and Rodriguez, with arrangements by Cueto, Mangual Jr., and Chino Nuñez. Noel lists his influences as Frankie Ruiz and Ismael Miranda. Plenty of material for dancers here. (Pablo Yglesias)

EditorsPick: We are in a golden age of Latin jazz activity, and here's more proof. Awake is the third project by the Puerto Rican saxophonist and like his earlier works, it's full of intelligence, bristling with knowledge. Zenon, like a pile of younger musicians, works the two sides of the Latin jazz equation like few people have before him, and at times he sounds like Charlie Parker - check out "Awakening" - and at other times he and his exceptional group, Luis Perdomo on piano, Hans Glawischnig on bass and Henry Cole on drums move into a rhythmic sophistication that owes its robustness directly to the Caribbean. Zenon uses a string quartet for two pieces, and on one track amplifies the group with trumpet, trombone and tenor saxophone. At times Zenon exemplifies the rhythmic and harmonic modernity that's rife in New York jazz circles, and he's followed by the always great Perdomo - listen to Perdomo's solo on "Ulysses in Slow Motion." Anyway, this is work that is changing the way jazz functions, and elevating the high mark on what's possible in the idiom. It's historic.

EditorsPick: Have to love Adalberto, the king of good times. His music is so consistent, so good humored, it's not surprising the universal, highly held opinion of the man and his music. It's also hard to believe that he's celebrating his 35th anniversary in music. Gozando En La Habana's a great way to understand what he's good at (borrowing, among other things; there's a weird borrow of "My Foolish Heart" on the title track), and the sheer joy that he uses to infuse his music. The coros interlock so effortlessly, the tempos are perfectly chosen, the montunos working perfectly within the tunes, the way he keeps his music modern without having to pander, and even wanders into older material - he does a cool version of "Camina Y Prende El Fogon." Even the two medleys of older material of his work just fine, and remind one exactly how many hits that man this produced.

EditorsPick: Excellent quality Volume II DVD & CD package of the legendary Sonora Ponceña's 50th anniversary concert at the jam-packed Coliseo Rubén Rodríguez de Bayamón, Puerto Rico. Recorded in February 2004, this is a well-produced multi-camera presentation featuring the Ponceña big band led by maestro Papo Lucca.
With singers Héctor "Pichie" Pérez, Fernando "Wito" Colon, José Alberto "El Canario", and Danny Davila . This DVD also includes guests Antonio Cabán Vale "El Topo" and the venerable Johnny Pacheco who sings and plays flute on "Sonero." There's a simply amazing cuatro solo by Maribel Delgado and a wonderful appearance by Roberto Roena who takes part, with Domingo "Tito" Gutierrez, in the first battle of the cowbells on DVD. It's pretty cool. A fine show not to be missed.

EditorsPick: A recording like this will probably be overlooked today, though not tomorrow. The greatness of the groove, the explosion of the Puerto Rican/New York style so late in the day will be appreciated in historical terms - you know, a work of genius after the genre had flowered, etc. My suggestion: buy some of these now, give them away to friends and neighbors, get insistent with them, make them pay attention as the recording, essentially a descarga led by the ferocious montunos of Colon's piano, is a celebration of all the best things that have happened in what's called salsa. And Colon's a mean pianist, taking the band down to a whisper in some of his solos, and setting up all sorts of tricky tempo changes - listen to "Tirandote Flores" - to take the recording out of the range of the ordinary, and placing it where it should be, in the world of improvisation. Good musicians all over the date, too, including Chino Nuñes, Jorge Gonzalez, Chembo Corniel, Johnny Rivero and Richie Bastar on percussion, a coro including the lead singer Papote Jimenez, and Jorge Maldonando and Eddie Rosado. Jose Santiago and Ray Martinez show up on bass, and there's a trombone section including Jose Davila, Luis Cruz and Joe de Jesus. What I like about this date is its naturalism: it sounds like a live session, really well recorded, enjoyed by both the band and the audience. Going to be hard to bump this from '08's top ten list.

EditorsPick: A fascinating exploration of the mambo's international influence, documenting the output of several French orchestras - French in that they were based in France, with musicians from all over the world - and filled with high quality music from the era. Good notes explain how the various band leaders came to play Afro-Cuban music, including Lewis Varona, Henry Rossotti, Eddie Warner, Benny Bennet, Ruben Calzado and more. Do not be fooled into thinking that this stuff is inferior, or a novelty. It might not be Machito, but then, nothing is. It's still highly skilled music, and the singers - from Cuba, often, are perfectly idiomatic. Rocking examples of the influence Cuba had around the world, culturally. Plus it's fun.

This free-wheeling descarga style band can really swing. Based in Medellin, Colombia, Sonora 8 rejects the common wisdom that Colombian salsa style has to be typified by speed, catchy hooks, and easily commercialized refrains. Here they use typical instrumentation with the inclusion of electric guitar to create extended dance grooves. This is almost psychedelic salsa that has roots in the early salsa of Panamá and Colombia. Think *early* Fruko, Los Exagerados, Los Corraleros de Majagual, Freddy y Sus Afro Latinos and the like. Some of the stuff is weird, but in a good way. This band would be a dream in a small club at 2 a.m. - it's the stuff of atmosphere, elation and surrender. Have a few drinks, lower the lights and let the party begin. DJ Alert.

Include the classics "Mentirosa," "Presumida," and "Noche de Salsa." In fact, every track here is killer salsa with maximum swing. Listening to this CD simply hammers home what a tremendous loss the death of Mr. Ramirez was to this music. As a vibe player, arranger, composer and timbalero, there was nobody like him.

EditorsPick: With Camilo 'Azuquita' Argumedez and Papo Lucca, you always get welcome surprises. Case in point is Azuquita's 1975 Vaya release Pura Salsa - a very experimental album and one of my favorites. While this mid-90s release is not as ground-breaking, there are enough fun variations on the Afro-Caribbean musical model to keep the listener interested throughout. There are songs in French, calling to mind Azuquita's fruitful collaboration with Tito Puente (Ce' Magnifique from 1981), and also some French Antillean flavors, with one song calling to mind Manu Dibango's Afrian/Latin/Funk fusions (featuring some nice batá drumming too). The album has an easy, lighthearted approach overall, reminding me of lazy days by the beach and hot nights in San Juan. Tresero Nélson González can be heard in the mix, and Jesús Cannedo plays some nice flute flourishes and unexpected soprano sax. Papo Lucca as usual has a million keyboard sounds going on, and there are some great versions of Azuquita's earlier hits. Overall an enjoyable set from two very 'original' masters. (Pablo Yglesias)

EditorsPick: Back in the "old days," this record was one of the few sources of Lucumi music available in the United States. No doubt, this CD will provide some nostalgic enjoyment for those who remember hearing this when it was in LP form. At the time of this recording (probably late 50's or early 60's), Julito Collazo was one of the very few batá drummers in the US. Julito and Patato are featured drummers on Fiesta Santera.
