Album Review
Vibraphonist Cal Tjader is heard leading five different groups throughout this CD but the identities of the flutists, bassists and pianists are less important than knowing that Tjader, Willie Bobo (on drums and timbales) and the great conga player Mongo Santamaria are on every selection. The music really cooks with torrid percussion, inspired ensembles and occasional solos from the sidemen (which sometimes include pianists Lonnie Hewitt or Vince Guaraldi, bassist Al McKibbon and flutist Paul Horn). Highlights include Latinized versions of "Key Largo" and "September Song," "Night in Tunisia," "The Continental" and a definitive version of Santamaria's "Afro Blue." This is Latin-jazz at its finest.
Customer Reviews
Latino
Electrifying, riveting, mellow, you name it this album has it. From Tjader's vibe playing to Mongo's congas to Willie Bobo it is all here. Unique in style yet exquisite in sound. A must have for all Latin Jazz afficionados. Start with Manila and enjoy.
Latino!
This is definitive latin/jazz! Tjader, Willie Bobo and of course Mongo Santamaria shine throughout.I remember this album from when I was a young boy. It was one of the inspirations of my becoming a conga player. Check out Mongo's stamp on Afro Blue or Bobo's solo on Cuban Fantasy. Awesome!!!
