Afro-Cuban Jazz Now is an acceptable overview of the Afro-Cuban jazz roster Blue Note employed at the turn of the century. All of these are album cuts, and nothing here is extraordinary in and of itself, though all of it points to the strengths of these artists and to their own offerings in particular. The budget price makes it an attractive sampler. ---Thom Jurek, Rovi
