AMG Review of Out of This World
Scott Yanow
All Music GuideThe music on Out of This World is consistently exciting, a very winning blend of op-oriented jazz and Latin rhythms. Among the key players are trumpeter Charlie Sepulveda, trombonist Papo Vazquez, Mario Rivera on tenor, and no less than four Rodriguezes (bassist Bobby, trumpeter Piro, John on bongos, and Jose on chekere). Among the most memorable performances are Thelonious Monk's "In Walked Bud," a Latinized "'S Wonderful," "Descarga," "Amanecer Guajira," and "Latin Percussion Summit." Highly recommended and probably the most rewarding in Tito Puente's long string of Concord Picante recordings.
