CAL TJADER Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Vibraphone legend Cal Tjader could fuse a wide range of sound and styles into his own sounds. He is said to have been a big influence on the Latin rock sound as a whole, as well as specifically the legendary Carlos Santana. His skills are laid bare on Solar Heat, an album that stirs up excite, funk, tropical sounds, Latin and jazz into a suer warm and sunny collection of upbeat, life-affirming tunes. It is a set from 1968 tat is seriously catchy and it comes on virgin vinyl with original artwork.
