Quentin Tarantino's trash-talking original soundtrack is fuelled by a greasy Tex-Mex theme. Starting with the Blasters classic "Dark Night," this album rumbles like a gang of renegade vampire bikers through a sharp new one from ZZ Top ("She's Just Killing Me"), a classy Jimmy Vaughan blooze ("Dengue Woman Blues"), an outrageous vignette by Cheech Marin, a couple of vintage Stevie Ray sides, and some rockin' Tejano tornados from Tito Larriva. --Jeff Bateman

Question that no review has answered.......2007-01-29

This is not a review but a question: does this soundtrack contain the song the bar band is playing during Santanico Pandamonium's (Salma Hayek's) dance / seduction / prelude to vamping out? (That scene is so erotic, dreamy, and hypnotic.) Have been burned in the past by so-called soundtrack albums that leave off the most distinctive songs (haven't we all?), so just checking before I buy it. From reviewing the credits, I suspect this song is "After Dark" but I want to be sure. Thanks!

One of the Best Soundtrack Albums EVER.......2006-11-10

Front to back this soundtrack is dynamite. Watch the volume on Cheech's cut("Chet's Speech"). Might offend everybody within earshot. Tito and Tarantula are awesome and this is one of the few albums available that their music (just two cuts)is on. George Clooney's "Everybody Be Cool" must be played at maximum volume. "Texas Funeral" has become my all time favorite country ballad. I give this 10 out of 5!

Great!!.......2002-04-11

This has got it all, Metal country and several songs I don't know how to classify. Wonderful

Parents be warned several speeches about various portions of the female anatomy.

A great mix of western rock.......2001-01-01

I found the movie hilarious and entertaining, and the soundtrack is even better.I am a huge fan of the southwestern rock, and this CD is what I have been looking for. Chet's speech is one of the highlights of the album. There is one fault to the album, and that is the goofy song Texas funeral. It's just too damn weird. Besides that, the album is great.

An okay CD.......2000-08-29

I got this CD because I loved Robert Rodriguez's soundtrack for 'Desperado'. I like just about every song on that CD. I got this one because I like the opening title song and the barroom songs. I was hoping to be pleasantly surprised by the rest of the songs, but unfortunately I wasn't. The rest of the songs aren't bad, but they don't knock my socks off either. You also get Chet's speech, which is hilarious. The hidden track is the second part of his speech and should have been tagged on to the first part, which I find a bit annoying. Also, the barroom songs didn't seem as bright or peppy as they did in the DVD when I first heard them. This was disappointing. They sounded more studio produced then live. None-the-less, if you really liked certain songs from the movie and have to have them, I'd get this CD otherwise I might skip it.

Amazon.com

This 1995 tribute to the late Brazilian bossa nova master draws from the cream of the Verve/Polygram jazz catalog. Saxophonist Stan Getz, who introduced the sublimely sensual bossa nova to North American audiences in the early '60s, is joined by vocalist João Gilberto on the well-known title track and by guitarist Luiz Bonfa on the exquisite "O Morro Nao Tem Vez." Sarah Vaughan ("Corcovado"), Billy Eckstine ("Felicidade"), Wes Montgomery ("How Insensitive"), and Oscar Peterson ("Wave") also turn in classic performances from the '60s. Jobim himself offers guitar and piano accompaniment on several tracks and duets with Brazilian vocalist Elis Regina on "Aguas de Marco." Although subsequent generations of lame lounge singers have robbed bossa nova of its original mystique, in its pure form, this music is unsurpassed in conveying an intimately romantic mood with carefree sophistication. --Rick Mitchell

Customer Reviews:

Among the best.......2007-05-20

This CD is just another example of great Bossa Nova straight from brazil. Just like the other ones, it has some beautiful tunes; danceable, easy to the ears, romantic and very sensual. Would highly recommend it.

Bossa Nova.......2007-03-29

I like Bossa Nova, beautiful music, and I like all the cd's I have purchased

Jobim "Mixing it Up".......2007-01-11

Excellent!! A great combination of different extremely talented world artists doing a diffent take on Jobim's music. If you love Jobim and want to "mix it up" this is a great selection.

Love it!.......2007-01-09

Love this! It's part bossa nova, kind of jazzy. Takes me to a beach with white sands and clear blue water, exactly where I want to be at this time of the year.

Absolutely amazing.......2006-09-06

I've had this cd for about 10 years now, and I've loved every minute of it again and again. Every song has its own beauty, in a very diverse way. The performance in "Chega de Saudade" is particularly riveting, each instrument delivering an absolutely perfect solo.

Also, not to be vulgar, but having sex to this album? A+++ would do again.

Good Music.......2007-06-08

I rate 5 star for the music, 5 star for sound quality and 4 star for surround mix. I'm not disappoint when listen to this album, each track on this album is very well selected.

I enjoy even when I listen with red book player. The CD layer also very good when compare to SACD layer.

One of my favorite album.

very good sound.......2007-01-03

I am very pleasure when I heard this SACD, all the sound is clear and the multichannel works like a different instruments places around my room.

voices in the room .......2006-03-14

Nice jazz sampler should appeal to most tastes in mainstream jazz since it's not too funky or free-style. What's the real kicker here is the SACD quality. Certainly not what I would call a great test cd but still good for amazing friends with the detailed sonics and tight bass lines and realistic voices in the room effects.

Excelent.......2006-01-02

very good compilation.
sound quality on SACD is first rate.

Good jazz SACD sampler.......2005-06-06

I'm not a jazz fan, but purchased this SACD for testing the performance of my new SACD & DVDA player. I own a lot of DVD audio discs, but this one is my first SACD.
Sound is good and well separated on the analogue 6 channel output designed for playing such a disc. But the music taste of the disc producer is strictly a jazz taste which doesn't meet that of a lot of music listeners. Beija-Flor, Come with me and Watermelon man are fantastic.
As a conclusion, it's a reliable SACD sampler but not comparable to DVDA which has almost the same sound fidelity, and include further videos, lyrics, photos and interviews.

Customer Reviews:

Laid back Jazz at it's very best........2006-11-02

My congratulations and salutations to the jazz afficionado who selected these great numbers for this double CD compilation. The vocal CD is my personal favourite, the selection of artists and songs exemplify the term "After Hours". The instrumental CD is beautifully balanced with an array of front line soloists. A great Album which has pride of place in my jazz collection.

Perfect for a quiet romantic evening.......2006-08-10

These CDs are a collection of quiet jazz pieces --real jazz and not the "elevator music" that is sometimes confused with jazz by those who don't understand jazz. These selections are the perfect background for a dinner party or a quiet evening for two, and also just for listening by yourself if you are in a quiet mood. Volumes I and II are each a double CD which provides plenty of good music for the entire evening.

Hef Knows His Stuff.......2006-08-08

This is a wonderful compilation of great performers doing time tested standards. It is not party music, but slow tempo, late night greats.

Great for a jazz novice.......2006-02-22

I'm no expert on jazz, but I know enough to say that this is an excellent beginning to my budding jazz collection...I highly recommend.

Love It!............2006-02-18

For anyone who enjoys jazz as much as I do (and I really, really do), this has definately got to be part of your collection! There isn't a bad song on here for me - I love 'em all. All the songs flow along so well. Finding this introduced me to Karin Allyson whom I'd never heard of before. And of course all the other greats are all here: Nneena Freelon, Sonny Rollins, Duke, Mel Torme, Cannonball, Sarah, etc., etc. I've been listening to this since I picked it up yesterday. Why listen to anything else right now?

Good cd.......2007-03-09

I bought this cd to practice for my latin dance class and it does the trick. It is all instrumental, but like I said, it works for what I wanted it for!

Decent buy for the money.......2007-03-06

These have a clearly heard bass line, and so they are good for beginners as they struggle to hear the "slow, quick, quick" beat of the rumba. The last two tracks are too fast according to current competition standards.

All tracks are played by the Peres Blanca Band. Judged for musicality, these rate two and a half to three stars, with the exception of the second track. This is a very danceable recording of "Strangers in Paradise."

Here are the titles, durations, and tempos:

1. Bali Ha'I, 2:24 (25 bpm)
2. Stranger In Paradise, 2:43 (26 bpm)
3. How Deep Is Your Love, 3:17, (27 bpm)
4. Perfidia, 2:25 (28 bpm)
5. Sweet Dreams, 2:04 (28 bpm)
6. I Just Called To Say I Love You, 3:46 (28 bpm)
7. Venus, 2:51 (28 bpm)
8. Night And Day, 2:41 (29 bpm)
9. Amor Do Verano, 1:53 (29 bpm)
10. Yellow Bird, 2:13 (29 bpm)
11. La Golondrina, 2:49 (30 bpm)
12. Song For Guy, 3:50 (31 bpm)

Rhumba.......2007-01-05

Fair to good product. The dance selections are somewhat slow and plodding and not as suitable for a fast paced rhumba. Also each selection has been truncated at the last chord which is unsettling

Easy Rumba.......2002-05-09

This will work for beginners. All of the songs have a nice easy danceable beat. The cover is misleading. I wouldn't exactly call these lively Rumba songs. This would be good for close romantic dancing.

Good for Easy Listening and Dancing.......2001-03-30

This CD is ideally paced for practicing the Rhumba. My wife and I practiced many steps with this CD. Favorite songs include: Bali Hai (very well done), Stranger in Paradise, Night and Day, and Yellow Bird.

These selections and arrangements are also enjoyable as easy listening music: they really set a peaceful mood.

Essential addition to your Latin Jazz/Big Band library.......2007-06-13

I can't get this cd out of my car stereo - it's highly addictive! An exciting,
innovative, timeless work by the inimitable percussionist Bobby Sanabria (who knew
he was a master on the vibes and marimba too?). From classic bolero "Besame Mucho"
to Zappa's funky "The Grand Wazoo" Sanabria and his top-notch orchestra (each adding
their own distinct voice to the overall sound) take you on a ride of rhythm and
groove that reminds you Latin jazz is music of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Time
for Mr. Sanabria to finally get the Grammy that's long due him!

The band was unknown to me, unlike Mariachi Cobre and Los Camperos. All songs are very well played and the takes are excellent.

Great collection of traditional Mariachi music.......2006-07-01

I have this CD as part of a collection of Mariachi music, and I probably like it the best. The music is a selection of traditional Mariachi music and is well performed. It will lift your spirits. What an affordable example of really good Mariachi music. I recommend it to anyone who loves Mexico, and already loves or wants to get to know Mariachi music.

Okay.......2004-07-18

Excellent sound, wonderful traditional classics!.......2002-05-29

There's no Latin music that will ever compare to mariachi music with its blaring brass, violins and guitars. It remains a source of inspiration, a mood changing fundamental. Here, the music is exceptionally well! I enjoy the traditional classics "Guadalajara", "Tu Y Las Nubes", "El Mariachi", "Carabina" "La Verdolaga".

The cultural style of selections delves into a little bit of Mexico all over. For the money, these 16 tracks offered is well worth it, and better yet, the music SOUNDS GOOD! Conductor Lopez Varanga leads the musicians. No matter the different styles of music that I prefer, Mariachi music will always be number one; I will always come back to it! .....MzRizz

This is by far the best Tito Puente Complation I have ever heard. It captures the Master Timbalero at his prime. The remastered CD is awsome and never sounded better. It is a must for Tito Puente Fans

Good one.......2005-08-31

I don't have this album but hearded it on winamp the musics are very good in fact it has the best musics of winamps latin arquives.My favorite is the first track even knowing winamp does not put the number of the tracks it's easy to know because the melodies can not variate so much in one track and one track does not durates more than one hour.However it's worth buying it.

Customer Reviews:

when is it classic and when is it stale?.......2007-04-05

I didn't enjoy this cd as much as I expected. Guess it's all in the ears of the reviewer. I had heard too much like it before and it wasn't strong enough as a classic to hold my interest.

great compilation.......2006-11-08

this CD is a compilation of Tito Puente's music, mostly recorded in the 50's and early 60's. Every selection is a winner, and if you are just getting started listening to Tito Puente's music, this is a good jumping off point. However, please note: this is not a CD of strictly "mambo" or "salsa" music, there are other selections here that do not fit that category, although all of the tunes are Latin in flavor.

Should be better known.......2006-06-16

I had the pleasure of attending a Tito Puente concert a few years before his death. The man loved what he was doing and his concert was full of joyous, dancable music. Salsa is more popular now than when Puente started his career so you would think that more people would be interested in his music. This is the type of cd to listen in the background or to just dance non stop. Too bad more people will not have the joy of listening to his live concerts.

A great first Tito Puente album.......2004-04-10

Get a great introduction to the early work of Tito Puente, El Rey, the King. Tito Puente, salsa extraordinaire and father of afro-jazz, was an incredible talent who will be long remembered. This CD is the perfect collection to get started with Puente's vast library.

Smooth latin grooves are guaranteed on every track. Scary tribal rhythms shine through on Dance of the Headhunters. As one of my friends said, if you don't bob your head to Ti Mon Bo, you probably don't have a pulse. Night Ritual, Hong Kong Mambo, and El Cayuco would rank as some of my favorites if I had to choose, but thankfully I don't.

Informative liner notes give a good history lesson about Tito's roots, how he begun, and how he lasted and played amazing music even into his older years. Puente will certainly be remembered for one of the longest lasting, highest quality musicians the world has ever seen.

A great stepping stone for other Puente albums, this will give a brief introduction to many of the styles Puente cultivated over the years. I suggest Mambo Birdland: Dancemania, a live album from the late 1990s, as a wonderful chance to hear Puente and his full orchestra in rare form, playing a live show in the Palladium, decades after his playing originally sparkled there.

A high quality album all around, a great beginning to more Puente albums. Highly recommended to any newcomers to salsa who have interest. As the liner notes proclaim, El Rey esta meurte: long live the King!

The title Jazz After Dark II references late night seduction as conjured up in the slow, but purposeful, pace of ballads. The set's two discs are smartly divided into instrumentals and vocals. The thematic focus aligns a broad range of players from Chet Baker to Ella Fitzgerald. There are the classicists (Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington) and the modernists (Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk), with small combos and duets being the setting for them all. The vocal disc covers the greater span of years, with performances by contemporary singers (including Curtis Stigers, Karrin Allyson, and Peter Cincotti) alongside vintage tracks by some of their mentors and influences. --David Greenberger

Customer Reviews:

Sweet.......2007-03-02

An all-star program of great jazz standards provides the listener (or participant) with two hours of fine and dulcet music. Program commentary and track personnel are included. For all lovers of sweet jazz, and all lovers.

Sexy,sexy.sexy.......2006-04-25

ever heard some sultry jazz during a love scene in a movie, or maybe a film noire, and said to yourself-"who is that and where do I get it?!" this CD is the answer, with one disc instumental and etherial, and the other with voice and unique song sytlists. Curtis Stigers! who woulda thunk it, but that cut works as well as the other. this is a must for rainy night alone, with your favorite squeeze; or maybe an afternoon at dusk. Enjoy the classics that PB put together in a pefect mix. There is a reason that this music is timeless... find out

Playboy Rises Again.......2005-07-16

Playboy may be many things to many people, but one thing the iconic label is for sure - and that's a connoiseur of unadorned, raw and searing jazz. Unfortunately, most follow up compilations such as this (Playboy issued JAD I a few years ago) are usually never as good as the original and are just an attempt at a quick cash-in. Thankfully this is not the case with JAD II. If anything, this one improves on the original. Like JAD I, this 2-cd set consists of one instumental disc and one vocal. The selections simply never miss and the mood is sustained throughout. Playboy may have made sex mainstream, but this music is all romance with just a hint of naughty. Here's hoping JAD III continues in this superlative tradition. In the meantime, shuffle both JAD I and JAD II and you've got nearly four hours of some of the greatest American music ever recorded. A must.
