Just looking for your recommendations for Latin recordings similar to Bobby Shew's "Salsa Caliente." I am trying to broaden my horizons within that style.
Thank you ! _________________ Schilke X3 Bb trumpet

Not sure if it’s quite what you’re looking for, but how about Maite Hontelé? _________________ 1975 Olds Recording trumpet

Listen to the bands of Celia Cruz, Ruben Blades, Wilie Colon, Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmieri. That'll get you started.
For a more modern take on Latin, listen to Karol G, J Noa, and Grupo Frontera.
Just for pure listening pleasure, I like the Buena Vista Social Club.
For a jazzy take on Latin-enfluenced, more "commercial" music - Phil Woods' Floresta Canto. _________________ "If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn." Bird

If you enjoy that Shew recording, you would surely enjoy a couple of recordings from Cubanismo.....The "Malembe" recording and "Cubanismo featuring Alfredo Rodriguez". I you get just one go with the Alfredo Rodriguez production. You would probably enjoy just about any recording from Poncho Sanchez as well. Enjoy! |

All of the above. Add Spanish Harlem Orchestra to that as well, especially the Latin Jazz Project recording!

Some suggestions that are very similar (Latin Jazz):
Rhubumba - (Feat. Bobby Shew)
The Bronx Horns - Two Albums
Ray Vega Latin Jazz Sextet "Pa'lante"
Pancho Sanchez And Terence Blanchard = "Chano Y Dizzy"
And just about anything from Pancho Sanchez, Paquito D'Rivera etc.
Also a fun one to listen to is Michel Camilo Big Band (Live)

For Latin Jazz trumpet I recommend Brian Lynch: Madera Latino - A Latin Jazz Interpretation of the Music of Woody Shaw. It has tons of the best trumpet players of the US.
Also second the recommend of Pancho Sanchez and Terence Blanchard.
My favorite old school Salsa and Latin Jazz artists of Puerto Rican or Cuban style not necessarily trumpet-based are Hector Lavoe, Eddie Palmieri, Chucho Valdez, and Willie Colon. |

Puerto Rican, New York based, Latin jazz pioneer, Jerry Gonzalez.
I like his albums with Fort Apache Band, especially "Rumba para Monk". _________________ Notice!!! Amateur musician without formal studies

FWIW, “Latin” at best means basically nothing, and at worst is a colonial grouping of a wealth of different styles into a single umbrella because they all happen to originate from what amounts to “South of the USA.”
Based on the title, I’d assume there’s some Salsa influence, so you could listen to salsa bands and see if that does it. Otherwise, look into various specific “Latin” genres and see what draws you in, rather than spread such a wide net that’s akin to saying “I’m looking for European classical music.” German, French, English, Italian all have distinct styles, and further variations based on time periods. “Latin” music is just as diverse and deserves better than to be all lumped into a single genre like this. _________________ Andrew Stadler |
