Cal Tjader, 1925-1982
I really like Cal Tjader, who’s known mainly for Latin Jazz. He’s definitely worth listening to. He started out working with David Brubeck, whom he met in college (San Francisco State), who introduced him to Paul Desmond. Tjader primarily played the vibraphone, but also played drums, bongos, congas, timpani, and the piano.
“Soul Sauce” was one of his big hits.
“Walk on By”
“Samba de Suenho”
