I thought of another CD I purchased relatively recently, Nachito Herrera and Puro Cubano Live at the Dakota
I am one of the voices yelling "1-2 cha cha cha" in the background of one of the songs. They were a great latin jazz band, and I used to see them regularly, got to know a few of them, things were great until Nachito decided to fire the flute/clarinet/soprano/alto, AND lead vocals and replaced her with a synthesizer, an additional drummer playing a standard drum set and his teenage daughter whose voice can't handle some of the notes in Como Fue. Around that period the bass player Jorge also stopped commuting from Miami to MN to play with Nach, I am afraid this is their one and only CD. The last time I heard them, the sub bass player bounded off the stage during a break gleefully saying "I am in a percussion band!!!" That was pretty much it.
