Description:
This reissue gives one a pretty good sampling of vibraphonist Cal Tjader's infuential Latin-Jazz of the 1950s. With pianist Vince Guaraldi, bassist Al McKibbon, Willie Bobo on timbales and drums and the congas of Mongo Santamaria, Tjader's impressive unit performs four of his catchy originals and two by Santamaria in addition to Latinized versions of "The Continetal" and Ray Bryant's "Cubana Chant". This highly rhythmic music is difficult to dislike. [Hide]
