"I got this cd as an early xmas gift and it is all what I expected from this legendary band. Having seen them live just before they decided to retire (to religious activities), I was impressed of how Bobby has kept his voice fresh and powerful and Richie's talents as arranger, pianist, etc. are still unmatched in salsa music.Only complaint: The record company decision to exclude from the recording the songs interpreted by former member of the band, the sultry voiced Miki Vimari, although they had enough " cd blank space" to do so."

Just Great!

"I've been long waiting to hear anything, absolutely anything from these two monsters and then these CD set came along...it's wonderful! These guys are truly a magic duo! Bobby's voice hasn't changed a bit, Richie's piano playing is as furious and genius as ever, the percussion arrangments and execution are marvelous, and the wind section, even though it doesn't sound as crystal clear as it used to sound is still impresive. I didn't like their using a drum set, I'd love to hear Richie playing an acoustic piano again not a Roland or a Rhodes or a Korg. Other than that, this is a great, great CD. If you like real Salsa (not the kind being done nowadays that sucks big time), if you enjoy geniality and talent you cannot miss it, it sure is a gift to one's hears."
