It takes a brilliant mind to draw from those that came before, in this case Tata Güines, and to leave behind something so perfect and alive.

Ed Fast, percussionist, band leader, session player but most importantly Educator!

Mi hermano mis respetos se ve q lo ensayaste bastante las influencias del maestro Giovani q bueno q va quedar el legado de ese genio

Tata el 50/50 the best WEPA

Might I ask what programm you use for creating the "scores"...thank you.

To me what is even more impressive than how technically brilliant and musical he was, it is that he was doing stuff like this in the late 1950's!!!!!!!!! On conga drums! Thank you for sharing all of this........I was late in discovering Tata Guines .

Jorge Fuentes 🎉Te Felicito mi SANGRE 🩸

Utterly tasteless and ignorant of the general rule that less is more. His solos always sound like a cow having a poo.

Larry Coryell - a true master

Is there access to this album somehow? would love to hear the rest

Que gran solo estilo vieja escuela tocando ese # de Tjader.

wooden timbales?

One of the most boring conga players🥱

So this is what we would hear in Africa now - African saxophone, African trumpet, African trombone, African electric bass, African electric guitar, African keyboard, African vocals?

Awesome !! El maestro . “Ah . Ah ah

Exelente...❤

Saborrr

Moro no Brasil, gosto muito de percussão. Meu parabéns pela transcrição ! Muito obrigado mesmo ! ______ I live in Brazil, I really like percussion. My congratulations on the transcription! Thank you very much !I

Belleza!!!1🔥🤛

Me respeto todo percusiónista lo que no comprendo es el porque la mayoría de los de hoy hacen los solos con puro paradible mucho redoble tanto los conguero como los timbalero y se olvidan del bailador una resparticion de manotazo y palos sin nigun sentimientos los solo tienen que ser un lenguaje dónde también el bailador lo disfruté también cuando un percusiónista se vuelve loco repartiendo palo y manotazo lo que somos percusiónista lo podemos entender pero un balidor que no lo sea va dejar de hechar un pies porque no le dan chance de arrullar como debe ser de gozar el tema por eso digo que hacen falta percusiónista que aprecien la escuela de el gran mani Oquendo,de milto Cardona de Barreto,de Edy Montalvo y otro que se me escapan de la memoria eso sí ponían a gozar al balidor cuando daban un solo.

Now this is 🔥

Master Anthony Carrillo 😎

Hi Congabop65, great! Do you have a pdf available of this solo transcription?

Wow 😮!!

I love this song. I play the vibes here in the Bay Area and had a Cal Tjader Tribute group in the 1990s called Mamborama. What a great group I am watching! You folks are kickin this Bill Fitch classic! Is that the same Anthony Carrillo who played bongo with Eddie Palmieri next to Richie Flores? If so, his brother Ito Carrillo (sp?) once sat in with Mamborama on bongos and blew damn the walls down. We were totally thrilled.

Wow! Really nice work. I play the Vibes and had a Cal Tjader type "cover band" in the 1990s called Mamborama, and this song is one of the "Holy Grails," of his repertoire, this masterpiece of Bill Fitch's - at least for me. I have transcribed most of Cal's work, and have even had the opportunity to play with many Cal's original bandmates over the years. I have probably all of the Fantasy colored vinyl, including "Cal Tjader plays Afro- Cuban" on 10" purple vinyl! I have Cal Tjader, Willie Bobo, and Mongo Santamaria's autograph. You have re-inspired me to write this one out -all the parts- all the solos. - Michael Golds, California Jazz Conservatory, Berkeley, CA

Thank you for all the Love for Bill 🔥🎶❤️🙏🏼

My Hero Bill Fitch, i had the great honor to meet him and spend some time talking to the man who inspired me to be a percussionist, he was a gentle soul and brilliant, to the great and creative Bill Fitch, may his soul live on

With no doubt A Master @ His Best

Wow with no doubt A master @ his best

It has also been a source of great inspiration for many lesser-great congueros such as myself...I am always amazed at Bill Fitches skills and talentas a musician! God bless him and RIP!

Excelente sublime inmortal.. El maestro Antony carrillo.

Is there a pdf available of this great transcription?

Thanks for posting, great song selections and tribute to Ruiz, Puente, Tjader, and Bill Fitch!

Bill needs to be recognized as one of the greatest! Thanks for sharing.

En el bongo es que es duro, replica y tumba sin desafinar. Me lo imagino en bachata

Antony.... Siempre firme y de pie.. Mis respetos

Perfect solo !

Great job. Such a great flowing solo. So nice to hear that old school way of playing where soul not flash was the way of expression. I am sure that was a lot of work to transcribe. Thank you for doing that .

Great post! thank you so much!

Really a masterpiece ! Thanks one more time Ed !!

awesome!
