If you are really interested in getting some top quality latin jazz
sounds you really should check out the awesome "Suite Espagnole"
compilations. They are compiled by Raphael Sebag from UFO and a
Japanese guy called Izurum Itsumi.

Unfortunately they are Japanese only releases and the LPs are hard
to find. However you should be able to pick up the CDs from any
place that can import current japanese releases. I think volumes
1-6 have been released.

You should also check out the Cubob release "My Latin Soul" by Bobby
Matos. Its a reissue of a classic album.
