mikeweil Posted November 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2017 A fellow board member loaned me his VHS tape and I transferred it to avi format. It's not the best quality, but if you really want it I think we can figure out a way ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasing the Korean Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Cal Tjader on "Playboy's Penthouse," with Mongo and Willie. They do "Cubano Chant," "Poinciana," and "Doxy." I've never seen any Cal Tjader footage from this period before! Edited May 17, 2020 by Teasing the Korean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 That's Lonnie Hewitt and Eddie Coleman on piano and bass, respectively. S. Duncan Reid and myself knew of this footage but never had seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was on volume 2, which quickly went out of print. What a wonderful era, when jazz was presented style, elegance, and sophistication!

mikeweil Posted May 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 Thanks for making it available. It was recorded in November 1959 and aired January 3, 1960. It is surprising that so few private video- or audiotapes of Tjader exist, as popular as he was. Just a handful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, everything on YouTube that I've seen dates from jazz's depressing muttonchop sideburns/chest hair period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Stewart Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Hello! Does anyone know where I could find a copy or link to Cal Tjader and Milt Jackson – Club Night Live TV 70's? It’s been impossible to find for a few years online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted January 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 AFAIK this never was on a commercial DVD. I only have a minor quality copy that Tjader biographer S. Duncan Reid sent me. He got it from Poncho Sanchez, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted July 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 New CD reissue on Liberation Hall of the direct-to-disc album Huracán (originally on Crystal Clear Records). It includes the two bonus tracks that first appeared on a Laserlight CD. Sound is excellent, it seems to be properly licensed as it credits the original label.
