Cal Tjader: Tjader (Fantasy 8406, released 1971, complete LP)

Coming off of an ill-fated experience with the Skye Records label, Cal signed with Fantays for a second time nad this was among his first releases. This album hits on a lot of popular tunes of the day, covering songs from the catalogs of Santana, Donovan, Motown, The Beatles, and even updates a song that his brother Curry Tjader performed with the Baja Marimba Band (Julius Wechter's song "Fresh Air").
Track List

This LP copy was in fairly good condition, and only has a few spots of minor noise here and there. Pretty sure this was pressed by RCA as the vinyl is very thin, as in Dynaflex-thin...we're almost talking a sound sheet here! 😁

A giant of the Latin genre, respected by peers across the world, from Tito Puente to Mario Bauza. Muy famoso.

Unbelievable, magnitude of magic

[@peaceaffinity]

In my younger years. 18/19 going to college, no money, very little time for fun, living by myself. But on Wednesday CAL TJADER ,played at the BAYSIDE MANNER, Bayside NY . $3.00 to get in. His music, that energy, that place ,,, gave me desire of happiness. His talent, his music today makes me look back at those years. I appreciate those memories, WEDNESDAYS,,,,,,, TODAY I listen to his music, a fantasy of joyful fulfillment. Today his music, IS magic, I compare to sea waves , when there is winds, breaking in the shore. ECHOING PEACEFUL JOY

Marvelous sonic fun, as tasty as one's third Margarita at a Miami poolside party at sunset.

WOW, incredible, last time I heard this was in a house of a friend of my in the Bronx, many and many years ago, thanks.

[@seanhawley5367]

May sound cliche to say underrated, perhaps in part because of Cal's pre-occupation with Latin music, that he is more highly talked about in mainstream jazz circles.

​@@Kwai-Chang-Caine Yes 👍, I've been frustrated 😰 often by both broken & dead links. Anyway, thx for posting the link. It's been over 8 months since you shared it, and it has pleasantly survived. Also, a huge shout out & thx for doing the search {for the 11-min version}. Those precious seconds/minutes may seem insignificant to many, but I'm sure the late Steve Jobs would've paid a king's ransom if he could've had that extra time to prolong the inevitable - and to spend it with his family for a wee bit longer. The older we get, the more our mortality nags {most of} us, and the more we come to appreciate this strange yet fascinating miracle which we call life.

Do you konow the name of the first song ?

[@LASR71]

That version of "Evil Ways" reminds me of the incidental music that you get in the movie "Sideways", a wonderful movie by the way. A wonderful album to listen to, thank you for the upload!
