Steppin' Out (1963) is an album by the Joe Cuba Sextet.

From the late 1950s and into the early 1960s the Sextet recorded on the Mardi Gras Records label, constantly increasing their popularity. In 1962, Seeco Records recorded Joe Cuba's album Steppin' Out. This album would become a "monster hit", and Jimmy Sabater would become part of history, as on the album he sang "To Be With You", by Willie Torres, and also wrote and sang the song "Salsa y Bembe", which may be the first known reference to "Salsa" as a music genre. Nick Jimenez composed the melody, but Cuba's decision to have Sabater sing the lyrics thrust him into almost immediate international recognition.
