Biography

Cal Tjader was undoubtedly the most famous non-Latino leader of Latin jazz bands, an extraordinary distinction. From the 1950s until his death, he was practically the point man between the worlds of Latin jazz and mainstream bop; his light, rhythmic, joyous vibraphone manner could comfortably embrace both styles. His numerous recordings for Fantasy and Verve and long-standing presence in the San… Read more in Amazon's Cal Tjader Store

5.0 out of 5 stars jazz masterpiece, March 11, 2003
Perchance a Jazz artist gets to make one perfect recording: Charlie Parker with Strings, Kenny Burrell's Guitar Forms, Miles Davis Sketches of Spain, Chet Baker with Strings, Billy Holiday and Lady in Satin. Here Tjader is not playing Latin rhytyms but straight ahead jazz, the symphonic strings are marvelous and Lonnie Hewitt is a terrific pianist [who died too young]. The grand music of Harold Arlen, the bluesiest songwriter, and Bernstein! Perfect, a shimmering gem to listen to.

2.0 out of 5 stars Elevator Muzak?, May 3, 2007
By Juan Oliver Colom (San Juan, PR Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have admired Cal Tjader since the 50's. However, this merger of two of his most forgettable albums left me cold. It projects blandness, lacks swing and the arrangements sound atonal,trite and limp. Clare Fischer at his worst? You can hear a difference in "Tonight", in latin tempo which is the one bright star in a blah disk. Two stars for this unfortunate CD, which I'm sure Cal himself would agree is a blatantly commercial attempt to add an "easy listening" label to jazz. A disappointment!
