Jose Rizo's Mongorama: Jose' Rizzo's Mongorama
by Greg Simmons
Mongorama. The name just sounds like fun--and this is a fun record, despite being crafted by musicians who take the Afro-Cuban music and legacy of Mongo Santamaria very seriously.

Charito: Heal The World
by Dan Bilawsky
Michael Jackson's music has never been bound by genre lines. Jackson will always be known as the “King of Pop," but his recordings have always had a near-universal appeal that transcends any single category.
