Customer Reviews
Electric Guitar Heaven
I guess the real question to ask is whether or not we need to hear Carlos Santana's classic material reinterpreted by other guitarists. If your answer is yes, this CD is heaven-sent. Ten giants of jazz, rock and blues guitar--including Pat Martino, Eric Gale, Mike Stern, Frank Gambale and Robben Ford--pay tribute to the superstar six-string slinger by putting their own distinctive individual stamps on "Jingo," "Oye Como Va," "Blues for Salvador" and more. Martino is the most subtle, planting a gorgeous "Flor D'Luna (Moonflower)" in the midst of a garden of mostly blazing hot licks, but Albert Lee throws a countryish Telecaster tone onto "Samba Pa Ti" that works very nicely. --Jim Newsom

Identify Your Purpose
It is expedient to identify one's purpose(s) when making a purchase. If the purpose is to ridicule, that person is a fool, not an example of a taken for granted freedom. Having said that, Abraham Laboriel completes this recording. I am a mild fan of Santana and have enjoyed his music for many years, as I said, mildly. I am a fan of good musicians and Abraham Laboriel is one such. A special, "Thank you!" must go to Dave Weckl as well as to all the other musicians making this recording excellent. The guitarists do justice, for the most part. Thank you to all for an excellent recording.
