"...what turns me off is the percussion..."!!??
I can't decide whether you're for real or not but regardless, your post was most amusing. I'm reluctant to say this to anyone because I'm so very pro-Latin Jazz, but perhaps this genre isn't for you.
"...bongos doing a "how fast and loud can you play" segment, dominates a particular song. but it doesn't happen all that often (thank goodness!)..."
This statement pushes so many of my buttons that I think it's best if I just leave it alone. You're in Miami, I suggest you go to a concert or two, it might help you along your musical journey, good luck!
