		Bio: Cal Tjader was undoubtedly the most famous non-Latino leader of Latin jazz bands, an extraordinary distinction.
		Tjader studied music and education at San Francisco State College before hooking up with fellow Bay Area resident Dave Brubeck as the drummer in the Brubeck Trio from 1949 to 1951.
		Tjader returned to Fantasy in the 1970s, then in 1979 moved over to the new Concord Picante label, where he remained until his death.

	Cal Tjader: Concerts In the Sun
		"Cal is one of the healthy youngsters who are the hope of jazz" wrote Ralph J. Gleason in his liner notes for Cal Tjader's first album as a leader.
		Nonetheless, Cal is still seen as the instrumental bridge that brought jazz and Latin music together into a viable form that would later be adopted by multiple players and finally accepted as a legitimate part of the jazz tradition.
		Tjader himself moved to Verve Records in 1961, and his subsequent recordings are quite different than those of his early quintets.

	CAL TJADER & EDDIE PALMIERI/ EL SONIDO NUEVO (THE NEW SOUL SOUND)
		Cal Tjader was a Swedish-American vibraphonist who led pioneering Latin jazz bands from the 1950s until his death in 1982.
		Tjader is given just the push he needs to take his playing one step beyond, and trombonist Barry Rogers brings it all home with his swaggering solo.
		Tjader swings pleasantly enough on the album’s most inappropriate selection, the Broadway standard "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever." A decent enough track in its own right, it was somebody's bad call to put it on the album (don't blame the Latin soul brothers for that one).

	Cal Tjader - Verve Records
		Tjader's father was a musical director and producer in vaudeville, and he grew up around the music and the theatre, even studying to be a dancer for a while.
		Tjader could even take something as square as "The Whiffenpoof Song" ("We are poor little lambs who have lost our way")--theme song of the Yale Glee Club--and make you want to frug to it.
		And in recent years, he's come to be recognized as one of the fathers of acid jazz, with numerous combos imitating the blend of Latin, jazz, and funk he pioneered in the 1960s.

		Tjader starts out the session on piano, but on most tracks his vibraphone skills are given a real chance to shine.
		Tjader was always a giving group leader and guitarist Eddie Duran and the rest of the quartet are featured prominently.
		Cal Tjader had such great success with Latin jazz that listeners and critics have tended to forget that he really was a major part of the cool West Coast jazz scene and that he recorded all kinds of music throughout his career.

	CAL TJADER SOLAR HEAT/SOUNDS OUT BURT BACHARACH
		McFarland, who was sponsored by Tjader early in his career, had done some arranging for Tjader in 1964 (in several unissued Verve recordings) and came up with the sprite treatment of Mongo Santamaria’s “Afro Blue” that Tjader performed on SOUL SAUCE (Verve-1964).
		Tjader and McFarland are ideally matched here, particularly on the pop covers of “Never My Love” and “La Bamba” and McFarland’s own “Fried Bananas” and the entrancing “Eye Of The Devil,” the theme to a little seen film McFarland scored featuring David Niven, Deborah Kerr, David Hemmings and ill-fated Sharon Tate.
		Tjader went back to Fantasy Records, home to his first famed musical forays of the 1950s, where he recorded more in the Latin jazz bag he was known for.

	Cal tjader - Vinyl Vulture
		TjaderÂ’s version of Walk On By is also good, but best of all is YouÂ’ll Never Get To Heaven with a funky bass line at the beginning that definitely sounds like its been sampled before.
		Tjader was released in 1978 and itÂ’s still got some heat.
		TjaderÂ’s cover of Ode To Billy Joe is also good and sticks much more closely to the original vocal version than other renditions IÂ’ve heard by other Jazz players, and the last tune, Alonzo is another fine composition.

	Bagatellen: Cal Tjader - Cuban Fantasy
		Cal Tjader was at it long before Paul Simon, David Byrne and Ry Cooder, though his role was markedly different.
		With conguero Mongo Santamaria and timbale troubadour Willie Bobo in the ranks of his Fifties ensembles, Tjader ruled San Francisco, the West Coast roost of the music, holding court at the Blackhawk on countless nights to the delight of fans of all complexions.
		Always one to surf the trends in the music, Tjader plugged his band in at the dawn of Fusion, incorporating rock rhythms and electric instruments alongside the layered Latin beats that had long been the backbone of his band.

	Cal Tjader
		While with Brubeck, Tjader signed with Dave's label, Fantasy, but it was not until he left Shearing in 1954 that he began recording in earnet.
		To some extent, Fantasy was trying to capitalize on the mambo craze of the mid-1950s, and, in hindsight, the Latin albums tended to cause some listeners (including this writer) to overlook his straight-ahead jazz albums.
		Although Tjader was often slammed by jazz critics for pandering to popular tastes, he was well-respected among Latin musicians and many of the greats played with him over the years, including Candido, Armando Peraza, Eddie Palmieri, and Tito Puente.

	CD Review of Cal Tjader - Both Sides of the Coin on Concord @ jazzreview.com
		Cal Tjader (1925-1982) was/is primarily known as a Latin-Jazz vibraphonist/bandleader, but one disc of this 2-albums-on-2-CDs reissue features a rarely-heard side of him: a straight-ahead jazz ballad context.
		Tjader has a mellow, easygoing side, as natural and unhurried as breathing: witness “Don’t Look Back.” Tjader, along with Hank Jones, is one of those jazz players who values melody and warmth, and doesn’t feel the need to “dazzle” the listener constantly with too many notes, too much “information” (that “less is more” theorem again).
		Pero Ya from 1980 however, is a different story: the better-known side of Tjader, the non-Latin bandleader specializing in fusing bop and cool with Afro-Cuban and Latin rhythms and melodies.

	CD Review of Cal Tjader - Cuban Fantasy on Fantasy @ jazzreview.com
		Vibraphonist/percussionist Cal Tjader, who passed away in 1982, was one of the biggest non-Latin proponents of Afro-Cuban music in jazz.
		Tjader was known as a bandleader who helped develop young artists, and this date is all the more interesting for the appearance of a young Poncho Sanchez on percussion, who has gone on to record a number of significant albums under his own name.
		Tjader will not be remembered as a particularly outstanding or trend-setting vibraphonist; nevertheless there is a certain joyfulness in his playing, and he contributes many fine solos to a set which allows all the band members to stretch out.

	Cal Tjader Discography at CD Universe
		Jazz vibraphonist Cal Tjader blended his mastery of cool jazz, Latin jazz, and hard bop into an immediately accessible style that held him in good stead throughout the 1950s, '60s, '70s, and '80s.
		Tjader also had a distinctive flair with standards and popular tunes, as evidenced...
		However, his sincere interest in Latin rhythms and their potential for blending with cool jazz led to a groundbreaking fusion of the two, and a genuine hit with the tune "Soul Sauce" in 1965.

		Tjader tended to prefer an Afro-Cuban style of jazz.
		It is noted that Tjader scored a hit with the Gillespie composition Guachi Guara that was less than two and a half minutes.
		I am unfamiliar with Lopez but the notes credit him with being “widely regarded as the inventor of mambo.” The notes also explain that while the word Descargas is Spanish for discharge, it is Cuban slang for jam.

	Night at the Black Hawk - Cal Tjader - Song Listings
		At the time, Tjader had both Willie Bobo and Mongo Santamaria in his rhythm section; Bobo handles the trap drums during the bop numbers, while the Latin tunes find Willie and Mongo creating even more heat on the timbales and congas.
		For this gig, Tjader adds the Cuban tenor saxophonist Jose "Chombo" Silva, who strikes the right husky Ike Quebec tone in "Blue and Sentimental" and elsewhere had been clearly listening to lots of Stan Getz.
		This album was combined with all but one song from another album Tjader recorded at the Black Hawk in the late '50s, Live and Direct, on the single-disc Fantasy CD reissue Black Hawk Nights in 2000.

	Review - Cal Tjader: Both Sides Of The Coin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Pero Ya, features Cal Tjader on vibes along with Mark Levine on piano and Fender Rhodes, Roger Glenn on flute and percussion, Vince Lataeno on drums and percussion, Rob Fisher on bass, Poncho Sanchez on congas and percussion, and Mondell Lowe playing guitar for three of the numbers.
		The playing by Tjader and his band mates sound more passionate and engaged than the second disk.
		Perhaps that is due to Tjader's lifelong commitment to Latin Jazz and his obvious comfort level with the rhythm and lyricism of this music.
