Rosa Passos and Ron Carter: Entre Amigos
by Alexander M. Stern
The bossa nova's not so new anymore. It's been forty years since Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd brought its gentle pulse north of the border. Getz and Byrd's version of “Desafinado was a surprise hit, and a Grammy winner to boot. Getz and Joao Gilberto's recording of “The Girl From Ipanema was an even bigger hit, ...
Larry Coryell/Badi Assad/John Abercrombie: Three Guitars
by Joshua Weiner
The “guitar summit" genre is densely populated these days, but few of these multiple-guitar, multiple-ego records are terribly inviting.

Candido Camero/Carlos Valdes/Giovanni Hidalgo: The Conga Kings
by Mike Perciaccante
These guys are the undisputed kings of conga. All three of the main players are the undisputed kings of Afro-Cuban drumming.
