Sammy Figueroa presents A Tribute to Cal Tjader

Percussionist Sammy Figueroa returns with a tribute to the great Cal Tjader (with the blessing of the Tjader family). Throughout his four-decade career, Cal was a pivotal figure in the development of Latin jazz, acid jazz and fusion. His style is instantly recognizable for blending cool harmonies and infectious rhythms into a refreshing atmosphere simmering with energy. Numbers like “Soul Sauce (Wachi-Wara),” “Cuban Fantasy,” “Afro-Blue,” “The Continental,” “Mambo Mindoro,” and “Nights in Tunisia” display the intoxicating mix of swing and harmony that Cal Tjader brought to his unique brand of Latin jazz.
