pop/jazz orchestral music of the '40's-'60's

When it comes to Latin big band jazz, nobody did it and does it better than Larry Harlow, a Jewish man in NYC. Employed the best players of his era and kept thousands of dancers on the floor. He was part of the conception of the nuyorican Latin jazz/pop movement--taking Latin rhythms and putting a more frantic Big City edge on them. His Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Harlow_(musician) His Site (he's still with us--he might answer your mail): http://www.larryharlow.com/ << a bit stale but you never know...His Discog: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/larry-har...iscography << recordings from '67--'03 and they never failed to excite but you might start with his '08 Greatest Hits compilation.

Some tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JGuQz67jDo << Individually excellent; en masse, transcendant
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aKWFPG3vMU << The last jazz you could dance to--real Latin, real jazz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izR9i4ndhRM << Backing a singer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed7aKWIq28w << an anniversary gig in a club
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MaWf2wC2xI << all the Spanish you need for this is "Ray Barretto" and "Mongo Santamaria"

BONUS: Fania Records 40th Anniversary concert--1-1/2 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNlBiavm-Yo << Blow the roof off the sucka!--I'm surprised the venue survived. Truly.
