Summary: Masterpiece indeed
Comment: It is dangerous to use a word such as "masterpiece", for it easealy could be abused. The use in this case is more than justified. This is a historical recording musicaly, in its lyrics and arraingments. A must have CD!

Summary: Not exactly a masterpiece
Comment: The sound sounded like it was too polished. I did not like the arangements. It contains an interesting mariachi-salsa popular song(La negra). I don't think this was his best most refulgent recording. A good cd but I would not give it 5 stars. In my opinion his last live recording under his name was 5 stars. Eddie Palmieri was not even on the cd. Ok, he was but it seemed like it. Michael Stuart surprised me with that bolero. excellent voice!. All in all a good cd to have in a collection.

Summary: Tito & Eddie combined ... It doesn't get better than this ..
Comment: In an album that makes justice to it's title, the two "maestros" waited much too long to give us such a vibrant, masterpice recording. The collaboration of latin legends Oscar de Leon (vocals in Mariachi Meddley and Paris Mambo), Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez (singing Marchando Bien) and Paquito D' Rivera as well as the frantic melodic arranges by Puente, Palmieri and Ray Santos make this CD a "must have" for all latin jazz & salsa lovers. Unfortunately, Mr Puente did not live to see this album hit the stands ...

Summary: Obra Maestra
Comment: This is really a wonderful album. If you're a true aficionado, you'll get right up and start to dance. If you're not, you may soon become one. There are some truly spectacular tunes here. Enjoy!

Summary: Often Brilliant, occasionally mundane
Comment: I have to admit that i've just recently come to the world of Salsa and Latin Jazz in particular. So I must admit that I may not be the best critic of these two legendary artists or this compilation in particular. But I have to say that the revelation has been utterly joyous. Salsa music is just absolutely phenomenal. Check out spinner.com : The Salsa station and be reborn.
This collaboration is quite satisfying but does at times disappoint. The majority of the cuts are up tempo (flavorful) and infectious. You'd be hard pressed not to tap either your hands or your feet during most of it. But there are a few tracks that are uninspiring but certainly tolerable.
I would offer though that I have heard other material from both artists that is absolutely phenomenal. So you can't really go wrong here. Buy it!
