Cal Tjader-Los Bandidos

[romanlobster]

brilliant.

[bawdybill]

Found this when I went looking for Cal's "Ritmo Caliente" and cuts from his "West Side Story" album. These were part of my introduction to jazz in general and I've missed them over the years. Thanks for posting.

TRULY GROOVY !!!!!!!!

[1019drummer]

The mood. Lvit.

[steena5555]

Very good. I definitely appreciate this!!

[elniniorey]

When the record was first released I bought it at King Karol records in NYC.for $3.84

(stereo).I would play it day and night and when I learned the chords,played it on the

piano whenever I had access to one. Playing Los Bandidos on the piano opened a lot of doors socially for me.Women

especially liked to hear it,they thought it was very sexy,and I would always oblige them.

Why dont credit Eddie Palmieri in your title?

[zenbooter]

@johnnynoirman crusin by, but digin your words

Cal Tjader was kissed by the music gods. Nobody can come close to what he did on vibes. His touch, his timing....impeccable!

[barfzilla1]

as much as i love cal i must disagree..Mike Dillon is as good if not better than cal! even though thats hard to do..

[conguera]

Different strokes for different folks. lol I love Cal's light touch, and his pauses, the way he let's it breathe. I respect that you like Mike Dillon, but for me, he pounds the sh*t out of the vibes. My ears don't like it.

[barfzilla1]

You have a very valid point..cal is quite special!

[conguero1970]

This is OFF THE HOOK! This almost sounds like ACID JAZZ before it's time. Awsome!

[madboy29]

AMAZING PIECE!!!

[wreck173]

masterful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yrureadingthisname]

WOW! 2:04 the just lay it the fuck down.

[house4reek69]

some sick stuff!! The way it should be done.

[salhervi]

Los Bandidos?... Los Genios!

[blurkreg]

Yeah! Latin Jazz of the 60s and 70s were the two best decades of Latin Jazz and what they call nowadays Salsa which is actually mambo or Latin Jazz.

This song really kicks with licks and flair. I love the Guanguanco sound with 6/8 rhythms such as this tune here. Best rhythm there will ever be.

[zenbooter]

@blurkreg ,endless endless amen's and mayaculpas to you brother

[merelwessing]

this is some groovy slick smooth shit

[bnheab4]

Tjader and Eddie are the Best in this genre!! (Latin Jazz that is)

[alr56142]

The live version of Los Bandidos that appears on Verve's Compact Jazz series (Cal Tjader compilation) credits the great Armando Perazo on congas. The full credits is as follows:

Cal Tjader: vibes

Armando Peraza: congas

Stan Gilbert: bass

Chick Corea: piano

Carl Burnett: drums

Recorded live at El Matador, January 1967 in San Francisco, CA

Definitely an essential composition in latin jazz!

[Logicalpsycho2323]

Jedi =)

[okaythenbob]

Cal Tjader is a master on those vibes and eddie was killing it on those congos.

[soulburst]

actually Baretto on congas and Eddie on piano

but great jam none the less

[TheTallMan35]

Oh Yeah!! ;]

[19andoverlol]

My god, I could listen to this all day...
