Review by Scott Yanow
This CD brings back one of Cal Tjader's best late-period recordings and finds the vibraphonist adapting his 1950s Latin jazz concept to the 1970s without losing any vitality. Tjader is joined by four horns, the legendary keyboardist Charlie Palmieri, electric bassist Bobby Rodriguez, and six percussionists; Tito Puente (who plays timbales on Mario Bauza's "Tanga") and Palmieri provided the heated arrangements. A previously unreleased alternate take of "Bang Bang" is added to the CD reissue. Highly recommended to collectors of Latin jazz.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este CD trae de vuelta una de las mejores grabaciones de Cal Tjader del período tardío y encuentra al vibrafonista adaptando su concepto de jazz latino de los años 50 a los 70 sin perder nada de vitalidad. A Tjader se le unen cuatro trompas, el legendario teclista Charlie Palmieri, el bajista eléctrico Bobby Rodríguez y seis percusionistas; Tito Puente (que toca los timbales en "Tanga" de Mario Bauza) y Palmieri prop

orcionaron los calurosos arreglos. Una toma alternativa de "Bang Bang", no publicada anteriormente, se añade a la reedición del CD. Altamente recomendado para los coleccionistas de jazz latino.
