Latino Blue is a superb collection of Latin jazz spanning the mid '50s to the late '60s.
The producer decided to reissue highlights from some of the rarer Cubop sessions that lie in the vaults of Blue Note's parent label, Capitol - from such labels as World Pacific, Roulette, Pacific Jazz, Roost, Jubilee.
As a result, listeners are treated to excellent rare material from Willie Bobo ("Trinidad," from his 1964 LP Let's Go Bobo! on Roulette), Joe Torres ("Soul Cha, La Bruja Negra" from a 1968 LP for World Pacific), the Jazz Crusaders ("Agua Dulce" from 1965's Chile Con Soul), Candido ("Long Long Summer, Toccata" with arrangements by Lalo Schifrin), and Art Blakey with conga maestro Sabu Martines ("Sakeena," from 1957's Cubop).
For collectors and long-time fans, it's a bonanza of classic material.
