Review: , 's best-known and best-selling album, came ten years into his career, but at a time (1957) when the craze for mambo and Latin music was beginning to crest. (Another landmark LP, 's , had been released the previous year, and 's "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" had hit number one in 1955.) Recorded as part of a just-signed exclusive contract with RCA and appearing in vibrant sound as part of the label's  series,  exploded with a series of tight arrangements, propulsive playing, and the features of new additions in vocalist  and conguero  (who helped, in part, make up for the recent loss of  and  to 's group).  didn't dilute his sound for  -- unlike the many commercial crossover LPs that were released by both established groups and ad hoc studio collectives -- but his hard mambos here were performed at tempos that encouraged dancing by more staid LP-buyers, slightly slower than the high paces of his Tico sides or Palladium shows. Brassy and swinging, yes, and certainly as precise as a great Latin band could get, but not as torrid as Spanish Harlem dancers would be accustomed to. Most were  originals, spanning mambo and cha-cha and guaguanco, and  built the foundation for great Latin LPs to come. - John Bush
