Huracán

by Cal Tjader

Overview

Originally issued as a limited-edition direct-to-disc LP by the long defunct Crystal Clear label in the late '70s, Cal Tjader's Huracan offers a stellar cast of musicians heard with the vibraphonist, and includes brass and reeds in addition to the usual electric piano, electric bass, and congas, with most of the compositions and arrangements by Clare Fischer. Tjader, long one of the few non-Latin innovators in Latin jazz, is in top form and is able to work in the demanding direct-to-disc recording environment, which required recording an entire album side of performances without overdubs, splicing, or stopping for very long between selections. Due to its relatively low profile, this is one of Cal Tjader's lesser-known releases, but it is well worth acquiring. ~ Ken Dryden
