Catch The Groove - Live At The Penthouse 1963-1967

Description

An unreleased live recording of Cal Tjader, a first in 20 years!All performances heard in this box set are previously unreleased. Vibraphone legend Cal Tjader performs with various quintets, accompanied by pianists Clare Fischer, Lonnie Hewitt, and Al Zulaica, bassists Fred Schreiber, Terry Hilliard, Monk Montgomery, and Stan Gilbert, drummers Johnny Rae and Carl Burnett, and percussionists Bill Fitch and Armando Peraza.Taking its name from Feldman's nickname, "the jazz detective," and reflecting his determination to unearth unreleased and award-winning treasures, the Jazz Detective label is a label of Deep Digs Music Group, in partnership with the Spanish company Elemental Music, with whom Feldman has long-standing professional relationships.Feldman states: "It was a great thrill to be part of this journey to bring these spectacular recordings of Tjader's concerts at the Penthouse to the world. This is a project that has been in the works for several years. I had the good fortune to work with Charlie Puzzo Jr, son of the Penthouse founder Charlie Puzzo Sr, and with sound engineer and radio host Jim Wilke, to produce this joyful collection of music. It's simply wonderful music, a little bittersweet because Cal Tjader is a truly underappreciated giant of jazz today."
