CAL TJADER - Bernie's Tune

CAL TJDER: (July 16, 1925May 5, 1982) was a Latin jazz musician, though he also explored various other jazz idioms. Unlike other American jazz musicians who experimented with the music from Cuba, the Caribbean, and Latin America, he never abandoned it, performing it until his death. Tjader primarily played the vibraphone. He was also accomplished on the drums, bongos, congas, timpani, and the piano. He worked with numerous musicians from several cultures. He is often linked to the development of Latin rock and acid jazz. Although fusing jazz with Latin music is often categorized as "Latin jazz" (or, earlier, "Afro-Cuban jazz"), Tjader's output swung freely between both styles. He won a Grammy in 1980 for his album La Onda Va Bien, capping off a career that spanned over forty years.

I love Mr.Tjaders music, that's clear. This is a heartfelt thank you and appreciation to you and all the other good people for posting these "lost" treasures for everyone to enjoy, and sometimes to be re-introduced to them. Cals appeal for me is the fashion in which there is something here for everyone given the opportunity to experience his music no matter race,creed,color,ethnicity,etc­.etc. His early career was a springboard for many aspiring artists from which to learn their craft well. RIP.

Cal Tjader, the mild-mannered Clark Kent of jazz, became Superman onstage. Cool vibraphone!
