Mambo Music
In the summer of 2000 I signed with Spirit Nectar Records, a company out in San Francisco. The CD, "Remembered Dreams", my first CD, was released in May of 2001. In 2003 I signed with Latin Cool Records and they released my 2nd CD, "Back With Sweet Passion" a Charanga Jazz CD. That CD features the creme of the creme in the Salsa field including Oscar Hernandez, leader of the worldwide acclaimed Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Alfredo de la Fe, virtuosic Charanga violinist, and Chembo Corniel, master percussionist, among many other great musicians. Then in 2006 I released a CD which I collaborated with Chembo Corniel called "Beyond Standards." This CD features Hilton Ruiz, Steve Turre, and Pedrito Martinez. We recorded mostly standards with our own kind of twist. Sadly, this happens to be one of the last CD's that Hilton recorded. My 4th CD is "Into the World: A Musical Offering" which features Mike Longo, Paul West , and Brian Lynch. I then recorded a meditation CD called, "Songs from the Divine" which is a solo CD with synthesizers. Cover photo: Maureen Plainfield
