Armando Peraza - Wild Thing - Vampi Soul LP/CD
available as LP/CD	Armando's One And Only Album As Bandleader - Vinyl On Special 220 Gram Pressing! Armando Peraza's talent lies in the complexity and originality of the rhythms he develops. interestingly, the effect is not that of a series of drum solos but rather strangely melodic in the most exciting Latin Tradition. he thrived in progressive settings that combined Jazz and Afro-Cuban idioms and was at the vortex of a new musical expression named "Cubop." he has performed on more than 100 albums and is the songwriter of more than 40 songs. some of these works include collaboratorations with Mongo Santamaria, George Shearing, Cal Tjader and Carlos Santana. "Wild Thing" from 1968 is Armando's one and only album as leader. for this album he worked together with the best musicians anyone could dream off (Johnny Pacheco, Sadao Watanabe, Chick Corea, Bobby Rodriguez, Tommy Lopez, Cal Tjader, Gary McFarland,..). 01. Wild Thing 02. Mony, Mony 03. Souled Out 04. Funky Broadway 05. Red Onions 06. Viva Peraza 07. Al Bajar el Sol 08. Granny's Samba

Cal Tjader - Solar Heat - Vampi Soul LP/CD
available as LP/CD	Sounding Out An Offbeat Set Of Burt Bacharach Originals this 2-in-1 set (two complete albums on CD, a selection from them on LP) catches Cal Tjader's mid-career in the first two of three albums on Skye Recordings, the label he owned with fellow musicians Gary McFarland and Gabor Szabo. "Solar Heat" was recorded in January 1968. Tjader is beautifully framed here by Gary McFarlandís crystalline arrangements and Joao Donato's gorgeously understated organ. Tjader and McFarland are ideally matched here. recorded eight months later, "Cal Tjader Sounds Out Burt Bacharach" is a curious collection that continued Skye's reputation for putting a pretty polish on pop perennials. Tjader sounds out an offbeat set of Burt Bacharach originals with a rhythm section of L.A. studio musicians and an ever-subtle sprinkling of overdubbed horns and strings. 01. Ode to Billy Joe 02. Never My Love 03. Felicidade 04. Mambo Sangria 05. Here 06. Fried Bananas 07. Amazon 08. La Bamba 09. Eye of the Devil 10. Solar Heat 11. Moneypenny Goes For Broke 12. What the World Needs Now Is Love
