Synopsis

Amazon.com

This multi-CD box set contains more celebrated tracks from the legendary Tito Puente's RCA recordings of the '50s and '60s. Like the tracks for The Complete RCA Recordings, Vol. 1, this collection showcases selected sides from several Puente classic LPs, including Top Percussion, Cuban Carnival, Dance Mania, and Mucho Puente. Supported by the best musicians in the business, including congueros Ray Barretto, Candido, and Francisco Aguabella, Puente swings hard in a number of authentic Afro-Cuban grooves. His fierce and frenetic timbales solos made mambos and rumbas like "Complicacion," "Conga Alegre," and "Hot Timbales" timeless classics. On "Vibe Guajira," Puente displays his chops on the vibraphone, and he laces several big band jazz tunes like "Harlem Nocturne," "Moonlight in Vermont," and "Birdland After Dark" with spicy syncopated Cubop flavors. Think of this set as an indispensable aural document detailing the dynamic, dance-oriented genius of the Mambo King. --Eugene Holley Jr.

CD Reviews

Great Music / Another Poor Reissue on the part of RCA

Peter Feng | Wilmington, DE United States | 05/13/2002

(3 out of 5 stars)

"As I said in my review of Vol. 1, this is great music. Vol. 1 was a terrible reissue, however -- just over 4 discs worth of music spread over 6 discs, no personnel listing, no indication of which albums tracks were drawn from. Did RCA correct any of these flaws for volume 2?2 steps forward, 1 step back. Personnel are now listed (in an extremely confusing and inconsistent format, with names listed next to dates for sessions that they played on) -- but this time, the dates of recording were omitted! It would be laughable if it weren't so typical of the major labels.Vol. 2 has 290 minutes of music -- which would easily fit on 4 discs. This time around, the discs are packaged in 3 dual disk boxes, while last time they were packaged in 6 cardboard sleeves. (Either format is fine, consistency would have been nice.)The booklet is a little better this time: the essay tells you (more or less) which LPs the tracks were drawn from, and identifies which tracks were not previously issued or issued only on 78's.If you have both sets, does that mean you have all of TP's RCA output? Nope. For example, there's an alternate take of DANCE MANIA's "Estoy Siempre junto a Ti," but the master take is not available in the two collections. (DANCE MANIA is available on its own.)Verdict: most of the original LPs have been issued on CD, and the programming is superior. If you just want 5 hours of great music and don't care about the context, this set will do you fine.Which is better, vol. 1 or vol. 2? I might give the slight edge to vol. 1, but the tracks seem to have been randomly chosen, so it's not like vol. 2 is second best.I'm glad to have all of this great music: but I think RCA has done a great disservice and shown little respect for El Rey, Tito Puente."
