Cal Tjader - Ritmo Caliente LP (Limited Edition, 180 Gram Vinyl, Bonus Tracks, Spain) ( VINYL )
Description
Originally recorded between 1954 and 1955, 'Ritmo Caliente' stands among Cal Tjader's finest achievements during his early Fantasy Records period. Tjader - a non-Latino musician deeply immersed in Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz traditions - gathered a vibrant ensemble of percussionists and jazz soloists, capturing the spirited rhythms of mambo, cha-cha, and Afro-Caribbean styles. This 180-gram virgin vinyl reissue restores the full original album and adds four essential bonus tracks recorded between 1956 and 1959, showcasing collaborations with Vince Guaraldi, Mongo Santamaria, Paul Horn, and others. A definitive snapshot of mid-century Latin jazz at it's most joyful and percussive.
