As I have been doing a series on Cal Tjader’s recordings for Copper Magazine, I have simultaneously created playlists which have been included for five different eras of Tjader’s career.  You can find these playlists in our new “Playlists” section in the top menu of our forum.  You’ll find playlists for Cal’s first and second Fantasy eras, the Verve era, his brief tenure with Skye Records, his collaboration with Eddie Palmieri, and his final label contract with the Concord Picante label.

Here’s a little “blast from the past” on 78 RPM.  “Chopsticks Mambo,” featuring Jack weeks and Vince Guaraldi.
