Re: LATIN JAZZ BANDS PLEASE

Tito Puente
Eddie Palmieri
Irakere
Poncho Sanchez
Michel Camilo
Paquito D'Rivera

Those are some of my favorites, all with excellent drumming. They should keep you occupied for a while.
 
Re: LATIN JAZZ BANDS PLEASE

Tito Puente is always a good place to start. Tito recorded an all percussion album called "Puente In Percussion". Some other good Tito Puente albums:

"Dance Mania"
"Tambó"
"El Rey"
"Top Percussion"
"Cuban Carnival"
"Party With Puente"

Some other great artists to check out:

Pancho Sanchez
Carlos "Patato" Valdes
Eddie Palmieri
Tito Rodriguez
Mario Bauza
Machito
Mongo Santamaria
Chucho Valdes
