Cal Tjader

This overview of the last stage in Tjader's career has him moving effortlessly between hot Latin cookers ("Soul Sauce" and "Bye Bye Blues") and exquisite straight-ahead jazz ("Don't Look Back" and "Doxy"). And it isn't just Cal's liquid vibes on display; Poncho Sanchez, Scott Hamilton, Hank Jones and Carmen McRae are all at their best.
