Review by Ken Dryden
Cuban Fantasy consists of previously unissued selections from two 1977 concerts by Cal Tjader at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, though this is anything but an example of clearing out tape vaults simply to issue new product. Joined by pianist Clare Fischer, conga player Poncho Sanchez, guitarist Bob Redfield, bassist Rob Fisher, and drummer Pete Riso, Tjader energizes the crowd with his interpretation of Ray Bryant's infectious "Cuban Fantasy," switching over from vibes to timbales to build it to an exciting climax. Fisher contributed the subtle "Guarabe," while the engaging arrangement of Mongo Santamaria's "Tu Crees Que?" would have had the audience on their feet dancing had this been recorded outdoors. This is one of Cal Tjader's best groups, and it is a shame that this music remained hidden for a quarter century.

Cuban Fantasy consiste en selecciones inéditas de dos conciertos de 1977 de Cal Tjader en el Great American Music Hall en San Francisco, aunque esto no es más que un ejemplo de limpieza de bóvedas de cinta simplemente para emitir un nuevo producto. Junto a la pianista Clare Fischer, el jugador de conga Poncho Sanchez, el guitarrista Bob Redfield, el bajista Rob Fisher y el baterista Pete Riso, Tjader anima a la multitud con su interpretación de la contagiosa "Cuban Fantasy" de Ray Bryant, pasando de vibraciones a timbales para construirlo. un clímax emocionante. Fisher contribuyó con el sutil "Guarabe", mientras que el atractivo arreglo de "Tu Crees Que?" De Mongo Santamaria Habría tenido la audiencia en sus pies bailando si esto hubiera sido grabado al aire libre. Este es uno de los mejores grupos de Cal Tjader, y es una pena que esta música permanezca oculta durante un cuarto de siglo.
