Info for Latin Kick (Remastered 2024)

Der Legende nach wurde Tjaders Musik in mehr als 200 Tracks gesammelt. Dafür gibt es einen Grund: Seine Pionierarbeit als Bandleader und (meist) Vibraphonist im Latin-Jazz-Genre ist eine unwiderstehliche Verflechtung von afro-kubanischen Rhythmen und Jazz-Grundlagen, die einen sofort in eine andere Zeit und einen anderen Ort versetzt.

"Alles kocht auf eine fröhliche und doch disziplinierte Weise", so AllMusic über Latin Kick, seine unvergessliche Veröffentlichung von 1956. "Tjaders elliptische, swingende Vibraphonklänge führen das Ensemble genial an". Das stimmt: Man muss sich schon sehr anstrengen, um beim Hören der beschwingten Stücke wie seiner Cha-Cha-Version von Cole Porters "I Love Paris" und dem ironisch-unbekümmerten "Lover Come Back to Me", einer Coverversion des Songs von Oscar Hammerstein II, keinen Kontaktrausch zu verspüren.

„Cal Tjaders epochale Mischung aus afro-kubanischen Rhythmen und Mainstream-Jazzsoli erfährt in diesen Sessions von 1956 eine gewisse horizontale Erweiterung. Die Tracks sind oft länger als auf früheren Alben, um endlich die logistischen Möglichkeiten der LP auszunutzen, und davon profitieren sowohl die Latin- als auch die Jazz-Elemente. Der Tenorsaxophonist Brew Moore erhält bei mehreren Stücken die Gelegenheit, in einer leicht gleitenden Getz-ähnlichen Weise zu blasen, und bei „I Love Paris“ liefern sich Luis Miranda (Congas) und Bayardo Velarde (Timbales) einige temperamentvolle Perkussionsschlachten mit den Brüdern Duran (Manuel am Klavier und Carlos am Bass). Alles kocht hell und doch diszipliniert, und Tjaders elliptische, swingende Vibraphonklänge leiten das Ensemble genial.“ (Richard S. Ginell, AMG)

Cal Tjader
Born July 16, 1925, in St. Louis, Missouri, Cal Tjader was originally a drummer and played with George Shearing. He came to prominence, however, as a vibraphonist. I remember Mongo Santamaria accompanying him on congas at the "Village Gate" in 1961. I never heard anything as exciting in my life! My career was beginning to take shape--even if I didn't realize it at the time.

Cal Tjader had studied music in San Francisco and had come up through the ranks with Dave Brubeck, Alvino Rey, Willie Bobo, Vince Guaraldi, and Mongo Santamaria. His discography is enormous and includes close to one hundred albums as leader and many as "sideman"--with the likes of Duke Ellington, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Rosemary Clooney, Tania Maria, Anita O'Day, and Carmen McRae. As a songwriter, his work appears on albums by Poncho Sanchez, Bobby Shew, Clare Fischer, Jerry Gonzales, and Stan Getz.

In 1963 Creed Taylor signed him with Verve, and Tjader worked with Klaus Ogermann and other producers to create some of the hippest albums of the 1960s. His single of "Soul Sauce" ("Guachi Guara") briefly entered the Top Forty charts.

Although Tjader was often slammed by jazz critics for pandering to popular tastes, he was well-respected among the Latin musicians with whom he worked, including Candido, Armando Peraza, Eddie Palmieri, and Tito Puente. In his later years, he came to be recognized as one of the fathers of acid jazz. His concord album "La Onda Va Bien" won a Grammy award in 1979.
