The Essential Guide to Latin Jazz presents the finest names and most popular songs from this fashionable genre - a perfect introduction, via the players, the singers and the bands. This collection brings together luminaries from both Jazz and Latin music - many of whose artistic output was at its height when expressed as a fusion of the two. Jazz greats such as Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Henderson and Duke Ellington sit comfortably alongside giants of the Latin music scene, including Jose Feliciano, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, Tania Maria and Irakere. Essential.
