Album Notes
In the history of Latin music, the name Tito Puente rides as high as that of Duke Ellington and Charlie Parker in jazz or Chuck Berry in rock. Puente combined aspects of various Latin American dance rhythms (mambo, conjunto, Afro-Cuban, son, and others) with big band jazz and assorted American pop styles for a singular sound that continues to globally influence Latin, jazz, and pop music to this day. VOL. 4 of THE COMPLETE 78's series covers the years 1949-1955, which was a pivotal era in different ways. On one hand, jazz was undergoing a revolution called bebop, while the mainstream Top 40 featured squeaky-clean pop songs. To varying degrees, Puente absorbed both into his dazzling, ebullient approach. This is a must for any serious fan of Latin-oriented music.
