Get Out Of My Way

These two musicians rolled out of the first incarnation in US, and
on this one they collaborated Cal Tjader and Mongo Santamaria.
I loved what these guys did to help latin jazz get heard.
CAL & MONGO
This one is so smooth, but Tjader was far from being a smooth jazz
player. It wasn't even heard of then. It would be insulting to
label their music as that.
GET OUT OF MY WAY

Then these two Latin Jazz masters. Tito Puente and Cal Tjader.Latin Jazz Live In Monterey 1977

My inspiration...Cal Tjader

Mambo Macumba
He was prolific, so many recordings.

1964 Cal Tjader Version- Guachi Guaro

SOUL SAUCE

It was inspiring to listen to his sound, and re-experience his talents. Always an amazing
sound. He made Poncho Sanchez, who he is today.

Nica's Dream

NICA'S DREAM
A beautiful recorded vibraphone sound.

Soul Sauce

VJ Clip, Marcelo_M -SOUL SAUCEMost musician, back then, who like Latin Jazz learnt this tune. A bit of a visual flash back, but
the music was great. My god those first vocals. Okay the new guys are getting their hands on it.

Cal Tjader

Cal Tjader, and Mongo Santamaria (then Bobby Hutcherson) were my first latin influences.
