Recommend me some latin jazz

[I Love Fat women]

Lately I've been getting into some latin jazz again since I came across some recordings of Gonzalo Rubalcaba, I've always listened to Chick Corea, Paco DeLucia, Al DiMeola and some bossa (João Gilberto mostly) and such but I've never really gotten into any other artists. Anyway, what I'm wondering is if you guys could recommend me some other interesting artists who play latin flavoured jazz?

Antonio Carlos Jobim and Tito Puente = totally bitchin'

[jazzfromhell]

Eddie Palmieri is about all I know, but he's pretty damn cool. Oh yeah, and there's Stan Getz's bossa nova stuff (Getz/Gilberto, Jazz Samba).

[moogoogaipan]

Ray Baretto and Gato Barbieri are great

[AmericanWeiner]

If you saw The Life Aquatic, you heard Seu Jorge, who is among my faves.

Be certain to check into
Jobim- Wave
Jobim or Getz- Girl From Ipanema
Jobim- Desafinado
Edgardo Donato- A Media Luz

[Lady Lex]

Definitely Stan Getz!

Lonely Lady is a killer! Woohoo :)

Larry Harlow and the Fania All-Stars.

Larry Harlow is a great.

Patato & Totico

The eponymous date Patato and Totico is the reissue of a rare 1968 recording documenting the deep roots of AfroCuban music embodied in the street music of the rumba. Sonero Eugenio “Totico” Arrango and conguero Carlos “Patato” Valdes lead an ensemble of percussionists and vocalists through a program of traditional drumming and chanting on secular songs descended from Yoruban Lucumi rituals.

Joined by Cuban legends Arsenio Rodriguez on tres guitar and “Cachao” Lopez on bass, the music takes on a modern improvisational character of such sophistication as to make it relevant to jazz listeners and soloists today, particularly drummers seeking to master complex modern polyrhythms. Latin jazz fans will recognize the call and response dialogue in “Ya Yo E” as the opening of Dizzy Gillespie's “Cubano-be, Cubano-bop”, as well as Jorge Ben's “Mas Que Nada”. Several other cuts will be familiar through their assimilation into the AfroCuban cannon. allaboutjazz.com

Freddie Hubbard would be a notable one to check out too.

]Buena Vista Social Club!

Amazing Latin Jazz.
They're Cuban though so might be a mission to get hold of in America.

I'm Swedish, so I fortunately don't have to deal with a faschist regime every day. :cool:

Buena Vista Social Club don't play 'latin jazz' - it's all cuban styles such as Son or Charanga. However, the Ruben Gonzales albums stand out above the others, and are probably more up the average jazz punter's alley.

Probably worth you looking into recordings by Cal Tjader, Poncho Sanchez, Jesus Alemany, Jimmy Bosch, Johnny Blas, to name a few. Obviously these are in addition to the the names mentioned earlier in the thread.

[JeffP1717]

Stan Kenton's 'Cuban Fire!' album. Good stuff

[pipe]

check out Charlie Haden, Paquito D'Rivera, or Tito Puente. if you want more jam/fusion stuff with a latin tinge, Santana's perfect.

Dafnis Prieto is great.
