5 out of 5 stars Great Old-Time Mambo Orchestra.......2006-03-05

Wow, what a needed CD. I love the arrangement of the songs in the style of the mambo of the Palladium Ballroom. I especially liked the no. 7 song, Si Una Vez, for the great arrangement. The singing is great too. Another reviewer trashed it, which is unfortunate. These people are totally uknown and obviously do it for the sheer love of the music. I really wish I could see something like this in my area (Baton Rouge - New Orleans), but since my area is destroyed, nobody is coming here. Anyway, this recording is a blessing.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2005-04-05

This Cd by far should've won the grammy. Amazing arrangements by Angel Melendez. Great music that puts you in a great mood.

3 out of 5 stars Grammy?.......2005-01-04

This Album sounds ok. A grammy nomination is kind of pushing it though. It sounds as if everyone was playing to something different. There is no "meshing" or blending going on. The voicings in the brass aren't the most pleasing to the ear and the phrasing isn't all that hot, but I guess it's kinda hard with so many horns. There is no drive present...No hard swing. The sound quality is the best thing this CD has to offer, thanx to the master engineer Jon Fausty. This CD sounds decent. It's better than some other stuff thats out there, but I wouldn't put it at the top of my list.

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME Minus 1.......2004-07-18

This album is the best thing i have heard in years except for song number 7 the singer there just needs a little more originality, she reminds me of the same recycled stuff i've been trying to avoid the past few years but i can always just skip that song.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome !.......2004-06-03
