Here's good place to start :arrow: latincoolnow.com/index.php?cPath=180&osCsid=03b51d928673989d022ad2db5a6979e2

Just cut and paste the link into the address bar. All have sound clips so you can listen before you buy. :D

Oh, I just found a gem. Check out Tito Puente's Salsa Meets Jazz CD. :D

I love latin jazz...

I can suggest you.. about everything from Tito PUente... then

Chucho Valdez
Michel Camilo
Paquito D'rivera
Poncho Sanchez
Pete Escovedo
Ray Barretto
Caribbean Jazz Project
Irakere
Papo Lucca (and something from Sonora Poncena)
Johnny Blas
Bobby Matos
LA Mambo Combo (one album but wonderful)
Chico O'Farrill
Arturo Sandoval
Francisco Aguabella

The soundtrack from Calle 54

You can take everything from them.. it's all guaranteed...
If you want I can prepare a list of my preferred latin jazz to dance tracks.

To know latin jazz you can approach it through the collection
"The Colors of Latin Jazz"
11 cd (sold separately) going through the various aspects of LJ (Romantic, Cubop, Cha Cha etc...)
