Cal Tjader - Good Vibes

Concord Picante CJP-247 - Cal Tjader - Good Vibes

Does anyone here have this LP or its CD counterpart and can tell me location and exact recording date as stated in the liner credits? I have tracks and personnel.

Was this recorded at the Concord Jazz Festival? Perhaps on tow different occasions, as the credits include both Roger Glenn on flute and Gary Foster on flute, alto, and soprano. If so, who plays on which track?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Mike,

I only have the two-fer Cool fire where Good Vibes appears as disc2. The liner notes does state Recorded Live at the Concord Jazz Festival, Concord Pavilion, Concord, CA

If you need more information.. let me know.

Cheers, Tjobbe

EDIT:

Mark Levine (p), Rob Fisher (b), Vince Lateano (dr), Poncho Sanchez (cg), Gary Foster (fl), Roger Glenn (fl, per) only on Doxy, Cuban Fantasy, Good vibes

Thanks - so it seems to be from two different performances? Or is one of the horns a special guest? Foster is not heard on the tracks Glenn plays on, and plays flute only?

And - are there no recording dates on this twofer?

Thanks again!

Lord v4.4 gives the date as being August 1984.

Now that's complete nonsense, as Tjader died of a heart attack in Manila on the Phillipines on May 5th, 1982 :crazy::o:huh::ph34r:

..... in other words, that was the release date.

You must be right. I just checked to make sure I hadn't misread it - no, that's what it says. You'd have thought someone in his position would have done better than that.

"Yes, I know about this reissue. Was that a CD or LP?"

I have the Savoy Jazz title on an LP. Apparently I don't have that Concord title, so I just ordered it on CD.

On Concord vinyl I do seem to have here only "La Onda Va Bien", "The Shining Sea", and "A Fuego Vivo".

This was released after Tjader's passing - the label had wanted another Latin Jazz release as the last sessions all had been straightahead settings or sideman dates with singers, but Tjader died before he could attempt a new recording.
