Program Notes
On May 30, 2000, the world lost the singularly greatest Latin jazz artist/percussionist, Tito Puente. Often called "The Mambo King," "the King of Latin Jazz," and "El Rey del Timbal," his pounding mambo rhythm made time throb, pulsate, swivel, shake, crossing over from El Barrio in Harlem to the Palladium, to the airwaves of America.
Although not intended to be programmatic, Mambo Furioso attempts to reflect the excitement and spirit of Puente's music as well as the sorrow at losing such a legend whose career spanned over half of a century.
