Willie Bobo, like Mongo Santamaria, was able to capture a significant following by blending R&B with latin jazz and boogaloo. Black Coffee is a classic dark brew posing as a pop instrumental. The kind of stuff he made a living at.

George Braith began playing pretty straight ahead stuff on Blue Note notwithstanding this little latin groover. Times have changed and Mr. Braith's music with it. In the intervening years he has invented the undoubtedly popular and easy to play "Braithophone."

Théo Blaise Kounkou is a Congolese singer with an unbelievably sweet voice and somehow his french works perfectly with the lighter than air music. Obviously I have no idea what the lyrics are about but the song is arranged beautifully and the band jumps off the record. I've only seen a few albums by this guy and they are all filled with this kind of music.
