Dejo un par de comentarios en inglés y no perdemos más tiempo.

"I just want to celebrate" is the theme of Jam Miami: A Celebration of Latin Jazz, recorded "live" in Miami, FL, by legendary jazz masters Chick Corea, Arturo Sandoval, Pete Escovedo, and Poncho Sanchez. The heat and energy emanating from this incredible concert, one that has been dedicated to their friend and mentor Tito Puente, is preserved in an excellent collection of ten songs that feature an array of stellar arrangers, composers, and musicians. Ray Vega, Steve Turre, Avishai Cohen, Dave Samuels, Dave Valentin, Ed Calle, Nestor Torres, Oscar D'Leon, Horacio Hernandez, Claudio Roditi, Hilton Ruiz, Origin, and the Latin Jazz All-Star Band are having the time of their lives and really do jam on this one. Opening with the Latin soul hit "Guachi Guaro," this great collective introduces their stylistic diversity in a blaze of Sandoval trumpet glory that defies the conventional range of the instrument. Their spirits continue to soar with Dave Valentin blowing awesome flute trills in his solos on Ray Vega's arrangement of "Medley Para Tito." Vega's heartfelt salute featuring "Ran Kan Kan" and "Oye Como Va" is a definite jam, and from the sound of the cheers coming from the audience, the spirit of the recently departed Tito Puente must have filled the room. "Wigwam," the Grammy-nominated song by Chick Corea, features Origin at the core of its big-band arrangement. This expanded version offers listeners an exceptional opportunity to hear great improvisations and solos by the quintet backed by an exciting big-band format. Poncho Sanchez's conga mastery is historic on "Poncho Con Su Tambor," and for two minutes, he unloads his percussive thunder on this solo triumph. "A Mis Abuelos," a ten-minute masterpiece written by Arturo Sandoval, features his brilliant trumpet and flügelhorn playing surrounded by a dramatic display of Spanish beauty, spirituality, and fire. Horacio Hernandez on drums, Leo Quintero on guitar, and Chick Corea on Fender Rhodes are blazing against a backdrop of blaring horn charts that will send good chills down your spine. They end the set with a fiery jam of Desi Arnaz's, "Theme From I Love Lucy." This CD contains one great show that celebrates the innovative music of a multi-generational Latin jazz "family" and together they capture the ambience and heritage of many phenomenal Latin jazz experiences.

No stars
Arturo Sandoval. Chick Corea. Poncho Sanchez. Pete Escovedo. Dave Valentin. Need I say more? If so, just read through more of the personnel below. Sometimes with all-star gatherings, the whole is not as great as the sum of its parts, but happily this is not the case here. This has to be one of the most explosive and musically satisfying Latin jam sessions I've ever heard. I especially recommend it as a good intro to this broad musical genre for those who are new to it and seeking to expand their horizons. Mark Holston's excellent and thorough liner notes add additional value.
Virtually every song on the program is a highlight. The opener, Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo's "Soul Sauce" (also popularized by vibraphonist Cal Tjader), features Corea on Rhodes, Samuels on vibes, and Valentin on flute. Dizzy's famous "A Night in Tunisia" finds Cuban Arturo Sandoval and Brazilian Claudio Roditi, Latin jazz's two foremost trumpeters, carrying Dizzy's torch forward with excellent solos. A medley of two famous Tito Puente songs ("Ran Kan Kan" and "Oye Como Va") are combined into "Medley Para Tito," and flautist Valentin, trumpeter/arranger Ray Vega, and timbalero Escovedo excel. Corea is featured widely throughout the program on Fender Rhodes, and the members of his current band Origin are featured on Corea's composition "Wigwam." The rich, full-voiced vocal of Oscar D'Leon leads "Van Morena," in which flautist Nestor Torres (a talent deserving of much wider recognition) and Steve Turre on conch shells also shine. Mongo Santamaria's "Besame Mama" and Arturo Sandoval's "A Mis Abuelos" provide more intoxicating rhythms and solo spots for the principals. The gig reaches it's climax with the closer, a rollicking, big band version of the theme from "I Love Lucy," featuring a parade of soloists: Robert Rodriguez (piano), Ed Calle (tenor sax), Claudio Roditi (trumpet), Steve Turre (trombone), Dave Samuels (vibes), Dave Valentin (flute), Chick Corea (Fender Rhodes), Arturo Sandoval (trumpet), Pete Escovedo (timbales), Horatio Hernandez (drums), Poncho Sanchez (congas). Whew!
This whole set just smokes. Don't miss it.
