Review by Richard S. Ginell
Latin jazz collectors note: the title emphatically is Jazz at the Blackhawk, and even the most determined listener will not find an iota of Cal Tjader's explorations of Latin rhythms here. In its place, we get a sturdy set of bop-flavored workouts by Tjader's expert quartet, recorded live in San Francisco's famous long-defunct nightspot. Tjader himself often sounds like Milt Jackson as he handles the mallets fluidly through a set of standards, a pair of originals by himself and his wife, and -- appropriately enough -- a witty Baroque-like tune by his pianist Vince Guaraldi called "Thinking of You, MJQ." Eugene "The Senator" Wright (bass) and Al Torre (piano) make up the bop rhythm section, and as long as you know what you're getting, a good time can be had.

Reseña de Richard S. Ginell
Nota de los coleccionistas de jazz latino: el título es enfáticamente "Jazz en el Blackhawk", e incluso el oyente más decidido no encontrará aquí ni una pizca de las exploraciones de Cal Tjader sobre los ritmos latinos. En su lugar, tenemos un robusto conjunto de ejercicios con sabor a bop por el cuarteto experto de Tjader, grabado en vivo en el famoso nightpot de San Francisco. El mismo Tjader a menudo suena como Milt Jackson mientras maneja los mazos con fluidez a través de un conjunto de estándares, un par de originales de él y su esposa, y - bastante apropiadamente - una ingeniosa melodía barroca de su pianista Vince Guaraldi llamada "Thinking of You, MJQ". Eugene "El Senador" Wright (bajo) y Al Torre (piano) componen la sección rítmica del bop, y mientras sepas lo que obtienes, puedes pasártelo bien.
