Cal Tjader - Good Vibes

Concord Picante CJP-247 - Cal Tjader - Good Vibes

Does anyone here have this LP or its CD counterpart and can tell me location and exact recording date as stated in the liner credits? I have tracks and personnel.

Was this recorded at the Concord Jazz Festival? Perhaps on tow different occasions, as the credits include both Roger Glenn on flute and Gary Foster on flute, alto, and soprano. If so, who plays on which track?

Thanks a lot!

If you need more information.. let me know.

Cheers, Tjobbe

Thanks - so it seems to be from two different performances? Or is one of the horns a special guest? Foster is not heard on the tracks Glenn plays on, and plays flute only?

And - are there no recording dates on this twofer?

Thanks again!

Hi Mike,

on the two-fer, you'll do only do have the release date of the original material noted as 1984, thats all, no further date.

The liner notes say that Gary Foster plays on all seven tracks.

...

... so much for discographical accuracy.

I hope someone here has the single LP or CD .... :bwallace2:

The title "Good Vibes" was also used for the 1989 SJ Records reissue Savoy Jazz SJL 1207 Cal Tjader / Terry Gibbs, which reissued some early 50s sessions by each of these vibists.

Yes, I know about this reissue. Was that a CD or LP?

Still curious about the exact recording dates and locations of the Concord.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Lord v4.4 gives the date as being August 1984.

Now that's complete nonsense, as Tjader died of a heart attack in Manila on the Phillipines on May 5th, 1982

..... in other words, that was the release date.

You must be right. I just checked to make sure I hadn't misread it - no, that's what it says. You'd have thought someone in his position would have done better than that.

I have the Savoy Jazz title on an LP. Apparently I don't have that Concord title, so I just ordered it on CD.

On Concord vinyl I do seem to have here only "La Onda Va Bien", "The Shining Sea", and "A Fuego Vivo".

This was released after Tjader's passing - the label had wanted another Latin Jazz release as the last sessions all had been straightahead settings or sideman dates with singers, but Tjader died before he could attempt a new recording.

Wow! thanks for postin- yea isnt it amaizng- ive been cranking this one loud. 

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

its probably the best tjader i have in my collection (and i have all the fantasy lps)- sounds amazing

[mikeweil]

It was an excellent band. There's a nice moment when Tjader announces Gary Foster after a splendid solo on one of the tracks and calls it "a helluva job".

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

you have it on cd, right?  this is one of those "record tosser" cds- beacuse after hearing it you'll toss your record out the window!
