Slow down.........2006-05-03

Looking at the others reviews I sincerely think you were too much generous or you don't know the music of Tito. I bought this CD and I was desapointed for the lack of energy authenticity by the quality of the arrangements.
This is not a bad CD but the oldies are FAR BETTER.

Fun dance collection.......2006-02-25

This collection is a lot of fun percussion with typical Latin mambo beats. It's got enough variety to keep you interested but it's still pretty easy listening. A fun addition to anyone's dance collection.

El Rey Del Timbales.......2005-08-24

The name fitted him perfectly. No one has ever and will ever record music the way he did. His style was one of a kind. Many may copy him, but they will never match him. This album is truly wonderful. Latin jazz is wrapped up with him. He makes you want to just get up and dance!

"The Palladium: Where Mambo Was King" * (N.Y.C. Palladium, 1950's+&/or -) . . ........2005-08-04

In my view there is no more joy-filled, sensual,
life-affirming pop-music t h a n the best of
Afro-Cuban/Latin Jazz . . when playing M a m b o !
The multi-layered rhythms never tire ear or mind . .
a n d demand attention to the musical genuis that
creates and improvises at such high levels of excellence.
Underscored . . when performed 'at the speed of light.'
It can be a 'religious experience!'
A sun-filled 'goose-pimply' one.
Welcome to one c.d. that captures this spirit.
With a sound quality as up to date as last evening's
concert.
Tito "takes no prisoners" in this one.
One 'cannot-go-wrong' in placing t h i s c.d.
within your collection!
My best to the best within . . .
- Richard Tuft.

One of the best Tito Puente CDs available.......2001-05-17

This is easily one of the best Tito Puente CDs availabe. A compilation of some of Tito's best songs, these versions inspire awe and intense dancing. In addition, the notes by Joe Conzo succinctly detail Puente's life from the beginning of his musical career (or at least by the time Tito was 13 ... ), Tito's influences, playing with Machito, to the Navy in WWII, to the Palladium era and beyond.

Even just the mention of the infamous and influential Palladium establishes the authenticity of the biography, the music and the album. Within the New York Mambo scene, abundant reference is still made to the Palladium, both to the music and the dancing (which cannot exist without each other). Conzo notes that "Ran Kan Kan" was first recorded in 1949 -- a fact that many of the people 'in the know' today are not familiar with.

This CD is so good that for a while, it was the first thing I wanted to hear in the morning and the last music I wanted to hear at night. Don't miss this one!

Thanks go first and foremost to the creators and second to those who chronicle the music, the musicians and the culture. The growth in this art achieved by the next generation will only be possible because they learned from you.

Blending Salsa, Disco, Swing and Synthpop, Modern Romance had a succession of hits in the UK and Europe, all from their first two albums. The best of those albums plus seven inch and twelve inch mixes are included on this 18 track compilation including 'Everybody Salsa', 'Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey', 'Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom' and 'Best Years Of Our Lives'.

With a blend of New Age sensibility and performances from world-class international artists, Windham Hill's second Solstice collection is perfectly suited to the time of year for which it's named. There's substantial variety on this disc, from the ethereal guitar and flute of Angels of Venice's "After the Harvest", to the choral piece "Silgugu Isiphambano" from Ladysmith Black Mambazo, to the up-tempo, jazzy "Tres Curmins" from Lani Hall, to the upbeat "Alegre Vida" from Yomo Toro. There's a fine contribution from Buckwheat Zydeco that evokes a carnival atmosphere, and "Lei 'Awapuhi" from Ledward Kaapana, who infuses the piece with bluesy touches of slide guitar and bent notes. This is music to open your windows and air out your house to. -- Genevieve Williams

A spicy mix of styles and flavors.......2007-06-02

This CD does feel abit disjointed at times - not all the music featured is the "same", and yet it all somehow links back to the theme of lazy hot days, and the celebration of summer. It makes me think of the samplers that Windham hill has put out to showcase their various artists. The tracks run the gamut from smooth jazz, to new age, to world beat, to cajun jam session, but it all expresses a feeling of jubilation, and while I don't love EVERY song, I love enough of them to love the CD.

not what i expected, but good.......2001-10-02

My first exposure to Windham Hill was from Winter Solstices 1 and 2. Naturally, I expected the Summer Solstice series to be in a similar style. I bought Summer Solstice 1, and I was not disappointed at all. The music was just what I was looking for. When Summer Solstice 2 arrived in the mail, I was excited to hear more of the same style. I was NOT expecting world music (as another reviewer said) with nice vocals in various languages. That said, I was severely disappointed with my purchase. Just know what you're getting into when you buy this album.

the best world music CD I have purchased in years.......1998-08-24

This album takes me away from my daily life. I feel like I'm on a vacation when listening to music as diverse as Africa, New Orleans and Hawaiia. I definitely recommend it!

Great Music--Wish there was more--poor documentation.......2004-02-03

How do you select 20 songs from "El Rey del Timbal," who has over 140 LPs & CDs to his credit? Fania has done a good job in this collection--but of course, it only skims the surface of the work of Latin Jazz genius Tito Puente. This CD has a varied selection of mambos, cha-chas, Latin Jazz, rumbas, Puerto Rican bombas, and boleros. The music is fantastic--intricate, lively, and danceable. For the price, I just wish it had more!!

The booklet that comes with the CD has wonderful photographs of Tito throughout his career, along with photos of people he worked with--Celia Cruz, La Lupe, Charlie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, Cheo Feliciano--his arch-rival, Tito Rodriguez--and more. Articles in English and Spanish document his life, his music, and his character. The discography lists his LPs--up to 104 in 1994, when the booklet was published.

My one complaint is the poor documentation of the recordings. I would like to have information such as: when were these songs recorded? who were the musicians? who were the singers? etc. The singers--Celia Cruz, La Lupe, Santitos Colon, and Vicentico Valdes--are listed, but not which songs they sing!

I've been able to figure some of them out--Vicentico Valdes sings "La Gloria Eres Tu." La Lupe emotes and wails "Que te pedi." Santitos Colon sings the tender boleros, "Mirame Mas," "Te Desafio," and "Ay, Carino." He also demonstrates his skills as a sonero on "Ban Ban Quere," "Mi Bomba Sono," and "Juventud del Presente." Celia Cruz is heard on "La Plena Bomba Me Llama." There are also some great instrumentals, "El Rey del Timbal," Picadillo, and "Fiesta a la King."
