Jon Lucien (Jazz-ish)
Ella, Louis Jordan, Slim Gaillard, Spoon . . .
That's it really, except for my beloved jazz latino:
Mongo
TP
Cal Tjader
Barretto
Bobby Paunetto (yes they spelt his name wrong on his first album)
Francisco Aguabella
Poncho Sanchez
Bob Desena - Destiny is a brilliant track of a more recent vintage. I know someone who claims to have played it at a Northern soul gig, which is bizarre considering it's a CD only Latin jazz tune from last decade.
This one is an amazing dancer from back in the day - Luis Benjamin Rumba Rumbero, and it's finally online - a gozar amigos:

Apart from that, I'm more blues than jazz.
Another killer para los bailadores - Shirley's Guaguanco by Aguabella:

¡Que rico!
Here's 5 of the absolute top dogs in Latin music, playing a live jazz gig back in the 80s:

The instrumentation illustrates one reason I love Latin jazz; 5 musicians, of whom 3 are playing percussion (4 if you include double bass).

You can't beat Dorothy Lamour. Bing Crosby and Bob Hope too - all those ''Road'' pictures
''Yes we have no bananas''
yeah thats the one I got the 180 weight one
^That's the one with 'Theme de Yoyo' on, great album very e-bayable as The Cinematic Orchestra do it live and have never recorded it, so their fans as always on the lookout for it.
'Fanfare..' was an early Atlantic album, post ^ 'Les Stance..' and really out-there and includes a tune called 'The Key' which sounds like the Muppets do free-jazz :-)
To be honest it's a beyond my kin, lets face it, brass instruments aren't the sweetest sounding things even when played in a coherent manner! At the moment, I'm delving around early 50;s, to the late 50's early 60's sounds of Miles for the modal stuff and Trane for then trying to put his be-bop theory over the more modal stuff, and trying to understand Tranes chord replacement methods etc. It's certainly a music that makes you work.
Is that an OG 'Les Stances...'? (looks it)
The swinging guitar of Tal farlow ha been getting a fair amount of play on my ipod recently too.
I especially like this

Although I appreciate his work with theory I don't really get on with his music... miserable bastard I am!
Yes to Tal!
