		Tito Puente's "Mambo of the Times" won an AFIM AWARD

		Brian's arrangement of "Airegin" was chosen as the single representation of Tito Puente's 
      13 year association with Concord Picante records.
       “From El Rey's GRAMMY Award-winning Goza Mi Timbal is this 
       sizzling Latinized version of Sonny Rollins "Airegin" on which Tito 
       relentlessly drives the band from behind his signature, 
       crackling timbales.”
       (from Concord 30th Anniversary Set liner notes)
     Brian's  arrangement of "Straight No Chaser" appears as a reference for converting a non-clave melody in the "Salsa Guidebook"
