Nuyorican Soul is a Soulful Masterpiece August 21, 2006
For anyone who ever wondered what the great cultural center of our universe, New York is up to musically besides Broadway, Off Broadway and television network shows to include quiz show themes, here is your answer; "Nuyorican Soul." This gem of a CD confirms that the cultural patchwork quilt that is New York is alive and well with wonderful sounds and rythyms in this package. Musicianship and performance extrordinaire! Perhaps you are bored with the same old thing musically. If so, then this is just what the Dr. ordered. I highly reccomend "Nuyorican Soul." Richard Law
Love lost and found January 28, 2005

I previously owned Nuyrocian Soul several years ago. It mysteriously vanished from my home. I have searched high and low in an attempt to find it again. I have, and I've purchased it for the second time. If I lost it again, I would make a third purchase. If you love funk, jazz and latin, this is the cd for you. I highly recommend it.
Mixing Genres and Making it Work! February 3, 2004

This album was quite a pleasant suprise for me. I knew very little, if nothing, about this group. I only heard "Runaway" on the radio, but I was so impressed by that song that I decided to get the album. I don't know about all you folks out there, but for me, whenever I buy an album for one good song, the rest of the album is never up to the same level as that ONE song. This album will prove the contrary. Virtually every song on the album is as good as the other. What I also love about this album is that it crosses so many different genres of music, while making it actually sound in harmony with one another! Far too often artists try to do this mixing and matching of different genres but the end results sounds so abstract and with no streamline flow to it, however Nuyorican Soul is a wonderful mix of Latin-House-R&B-Smooth Jazz-Ambient-Soul all in one! This album also has some great contributions by some classic artists, like George Benson and Roy Ayers. Be sure to check it out!!!
An excellent buy! January 6, 2004

I actually had NEVER previously heard of Nuyorican Soul when I bought this CD. I was shopping at the mall and had found a used CD my friend had been looking for and decided to skim the 'used CD rack' to see if there was anything I wanted (the price was right...)When I saw Nuyorican Soul, it looked very different and interesting to me. So I picked it up not knowing what to expect. What I got was something new, innovative, and catchy! This is a wonderfully eclectic mix of Jazz, Salsa, and other smooth Sinatra-esque sounds. It is unlike anything I have ever heard and I love it to pieces. If you want something that's new and fresh to spicen up your CD player, don't hesitate! BUY THIS ALBUM!
House, Salsa, Electronica all Converge into a stunning album October 30, 2003

Although the `Nuyorican Soul' tag is misleading as this is a production by dance duo "Masters At Work" and although there is certainly a very danceable flow to the music, its more so in a Latin/Salsa party atmosphere kind of way, and a million miles away from a traditional dancefloor album. Not that any of this matters as the `Jocelyn Brown' sung "I am The Black Gold of the Sun" has long since been one of the most fantastical summertime House/Jazz records ever made. In fact Jazz/Salsa artists feature prominently with tracks here "Roy Ayers" (Roy's Scat)..."George Benson" (You Can Do It (Baby)....and "Eddie Palmieri" (Taita Caneme) provided big name entertainment, as well as Masters at Work (which consists of: Kenny Dope Gonzales and Little Louie Vega), on several superb productions, and also one of the most substantial albums made by the duo, and provides an album that works on within an upbeat & Downtempo atmosphere.
