Cal Tjader – Amazonas

Amazonas finds legendary vibraphonist Cal Tjader deep in his ‘70s Brazilian jazz fusion bag, operating at the sonic intersection between Rio and California, backed by a pairing of Airto Moreira on production, and George Duke on arrangements, and guest performances by Hermeto Pascoal, David Amaro, and Raul De Souza. This Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf reissue of Amazonas was cut from the original analogue tapes (AAA) by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI, and comes packaged in a tip-on jacket.
