 | Soul Sauce by Cal Tjader
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $6.88 Definitely his most well known stuff. Conatins my personal favorite recording of the track "Leyte." Essential Tjader.

 | Sounds Out Burt Bacharach by Cal Tjader
Buy new: $4.99 / Used from: $3.73 Eeeee... this one kinda sucks. Kind of. If by kind of I mean a lot, that is.
|
 | Los Ritmos Calientes by Cal Tjader
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $6.25 I own this on vinyl so I don't know if the tracklisting differs, but it's great. Prime Fantasy material.
|
 | Plugs In by Cal Tjader
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $5.84 Cool early 70's live session. By this time he had started using electric instruments but they only seem to make him sound better.
|
 | The Prophet by Cal Tjader
Buy used from: $580.83 =O Woooooowwwwwwww.
|
 | Several Shades Of Jade / Breeze From The East by Cal Tjader
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $6.75 Cheesy theme, good execution. Guest artist Lalo Schifrin makes some cool arrangements.
|
 | Soul Bird: Whiffenpoof by Cal Tjader
Buy used from: $5.98 He's in the zone on this one. From the Verve years when it seemed he could do no wrong. Has the track "Reza" which is another one of my all time Tjader favorites.
|
 | Talkin' Verve: Roots of Acid Jazz by Cal Tjader
Buy used from: $4.49 Great compilation that includes some highlights off some of his Verve albums that have yet to make it to domestic CD.
|
 | Soul Burst by Cal Tjader
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.02 More vintage Verve stuff. Contains an awesome recording of the song "Morning."
|
 | Cal Tjader's Latin Concert by Cal Tjader
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $4.15 Live stuff from the Fantasy years. GREAT recording of the track "Cubano Chant" on this one.
|
 | Plays the Contemporary Music of Mexico & Brazil by Cal Tjader
Buy used from: $5.53 Kind of an overlooked one, but a seriously good album to boot. So many great tracks.
|
 | El Sonido Nuevo: The New Soul Sound by Cal Tjader & Eddie Palmieri
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $8.88 Kind of different sounding because Eddie Palmieri gets equal time as Cal. It's a bit uncohesive. "Los Jibaros" is too addictive.
|
 | Jazz 'Round Midnight by Cal Tjader
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $6.00 Another good compilation that puts together some stuff from the more obscure Verve material.
