The recording that launched the Concord Picante label in 1980—and the first of half-a-dozen albums that the Latin jazz legend would make for Concord —La Onda Va Bein is a Cal Tjader classic. But that fact was recognized more than twenty years ago, when this timeless Tjader opus was honored with Grammy® Award for “Best Latin Recording.” From the mesmerizing “Speak Low” to the blazing-hot “Mambo Mindoro” to the tasty “Sabor,” Cal Tjader’s vibrant vibraphone resonates with a previously-unheard depth and nuance on Super Audio CD (SACD).

Musicians: Cal Tjader, vibes; Mark Levine, piano and Fender Rhodes; Roger Glenn, flute and percussion; Vince Lateano, drums and percussion; Rob Fisher, bass; Poncho Sanchez, congas and percussion.
