Vibes wizard belts out a fiery Latin jazz gem with a version on the flip that's pure fatback funk.
Cal Tjader
was a vibraphonist of Swedish-American heritage based in California, contracted to Fantasy Records. In 1958 he cut the frenzied "Mamblues," a truly amazing piece of bangin' Latin jazz. In 1972 the song was revisited on the soundtrack to the full-length adult-rated cartoon movie
Fritz The Cat
. Only this time lean, mean time-keepin' machine
Bernard "Pretty" Purdie
was in the traps.

Solar Heat + Sounds Out Bacharach

VAMPISOUL (SPAIN)
Format:
CD
Price:
$12.00
Catalog #:
VAMPI 038CD
This is a live performance of
Cal Tjader
. He's lived with "live" audiences since his early days as a drummer with
Dave Brubeck
, and since then he stepped out as a leader for many years after that, he has been followed by crowds and creative players who have helped build for Tjader's group its great reputation as in-person performers. This time it's the Lighthouse Club at Hermosa Beach (CA) February 20 1969. And the star players are
Armando Peraza
(congas),
Joe Kloess
(electric piano),
Paul Wraburton
(bass) and
Mike Buono
on drums, with Cal on vibes. They are plugged in to the life and times and demands of an audience in love with their playing. Cal radiates miraculous warmth, pressing nerves, underscoring the primitive potential of the moment. In addition to the original release, an additional 7 songs from a show in Aspen, Colorado a year before that are included. A truly sparkling recording, explosive and perfect.
