Customer Reviews
Start your Tjader collection here
This was the first Cal Tjader cd/album I bought. I think my Uncle recommended it from when he was a kid (he's got good taste). All of Tjader's music is very easy to listen to, very rhythmic, very hip, very chic. A friend, though, did say that he only likes Tjader in small doses (maybe he doesn't care for the vibes or maybe thinks it's too lounge-y). Regardless, Tjader is in fine form here on this mid-60s session. This is a popular album and is a good place to start for people who do not own any Cal Tjader cd's. Buy Soul Sauce first, then try out others if you like it.
If You Aren't Familiar With Cal Tjader...
...this is a really good start. How a white guy from Chicago became the king of Latin jazz in his day is a whole other story, but talent had something to do with it ;) My favorite on this CD is Tanya, the title track and Ming have been mentioned in other reviews; several of the tracks are a little slower and cooler (Leyte, Somewhere in the Night, Spring Is Here, for example). All in all a good roundup of Tjader's styles.
Feel the vibes...
Two things influenced my decision to buy this CD. 1) The tobasco sauce cover art and 2) The title. I wouldn't recommend most purchase decisions being made in this manner, but this one worked out for me. Hey, I liked it so much that I adopted the name as my Amazon nickname!
Cal Tjader's name comes up pretty often in the lounge/bachelor pad style of music. This CD's tracks feature Cal Tjader on vibes over infectuous latin beats. Donald Byrd, Kenny Burrell, Willie Bobo and others mix on this album to brew up "Soul Sauce" - too mellow to really "cook" - but it is definitely "smokin'." These tunes are perfect for chill mode or a trendy cocktail party.
If you like vibes, latin jazz, or just something cool, give Soul Sauce a listen.
