Cal Tjader - Amazonas (Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series)

Cal Tjader - Amazonas (Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf Series)Amazonas finds legendary vibraphonist Cal Tjader deep in his 70s Brazilian jazz fusion bag, operating at the sonic intersection between Rio and California, backed by a pairing of Airto Moreira on production, and George Duke on arrangements, and guest performances by Hermeto Pascoal, David Amaro, and Raul De Souza. This Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf reissue of Amazonas was cut from the original analog tapes (AAA) by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180 gram vinyl at

Hand Me Down

and tracks like 'The Equal Spacing' that tick and whir like little machines for generating joy

the debut album from critically acclaimed country star Mo Pitney

4) Slave The Hive

haunting beds of tension with beautiful shimmering melodies laid above

Available on SILVER vinyl

as do the deeply progressive 'New Flamenco' manifestos of Lole y Manuel

It's tuned to Drop G which we have been using since the self-titled LP

making it a must-have for jazz aficionados and vinyl collectors alike

Playing on a playground as a kid or just going for a drive and listening to music in the car
