艺人介绍

小简介

出道之初是一名鼓手，跟看Dave Brubeck到处演出。后来这个瑞典乐手以颤音琴(vibes)独奏家姿态自立门户，他原本的范畴是爵士乐。后来与拉丁敲击明星Tito Puente "jam"，引起行内人强烈兴趣。Cal Tjader在半世纪前便钻研jazz与 latin合为一体的可行性，有人称他为Latin-jazz之父。其后他是纽约市最炙手可热的拉丁美洲舞曲乐队领班。Cal TJader创意爆棚，他的音乐光芒四射。六零年代美国有个很著名的DJ说:「Cal Tjader牵头，其他音乐人追随大约是五年之后。」 Cal Tjader的乐队是超新星的温床。在1968午於科罗拉多州阿士本"Red Onion"会所的演出实况裹，由 Armando Perazza 玩 congas，Joe KIoess玩钢琴、Paul Warburton玩大牛筋，Mike Buono打鼓。「领衔主奏」的当然是打颤音琴的Cal Tjader。八首音乐，两首出自CaI Tjader手笔，两首出自A．Porazza，一首出自Joe Kloess。不用说，作曲者在自己的创作中自然预留比较多供自己发挥的空间。

Cal Tjader was undoubtedly the most famous non-Latino leader of Latin jazz bands, an extraordinary distinction. From the 1950s until his death, he was practically the point man between the worlds of Latin jazz and mainstream bop; his light, rhythmic, joyous vibraphone manner could comfortably embrace both styles. His numerous recordings for Fantasy and Verve and long-standing presence in the San Francisco Bay Area eventually had a profound influence upon Carlos Santana, and thus Latin rock. He also played drums and bongos, the latter most notably on the George Shearing Quintets puckishly titled Rap Your Troubles in Drums, and would occasionally sit in on piano as well.

Tjader studied music and education at San Francisco State College before hooking up with fellow Bay Area resident Dave Brubeck as the drummer in the Brubeck Trio from 1949 to 1951. He then worked with Alvino Rey, led his own group, and in 1953, joined George Shearings then hugely popular quintet as a vibraphonist and percussionist. It was in Shearings band that Tjaders love affair with Latin music began, ignited by Shearings bassist Al McKibbon, nurtured by contact with Willie Bobo, Mongo Santamaria, and Armando Peraza, and galvanized by the 50s mambo craze. When he left Shearing the following year, Tjader promptly formed his own band that emphasized the Latin element yet also played mainstream jazz. Bobo and Santamaria eventually joined Tjaders band as sidemen, and Vince Guaraldi served for a while as pianist and contributor to the bands songbook (Ginza, Thinking of You, MJQ). Tjader recorded a long series of mostly Latin jazz albums for Fantasy from the mid-50s through the early 60s, switching in 1961 to Verve, where under Creed Taylors aegis he expanded his stylistic palette and was teamed with artists like Lalo Schifrin, Anita ODay, Kenny Burrell, and Donald Byrd. Along the way, Tjader managed to score a minor hit in 1965 with Soul Sauce, a reworking of Dizzy Gillespie/Chano Pozos Guacha Guaro, which Tjader had previously cut for Fantasy. Tjader returned to Fantasy in the 1970s, then in 1979 moved over to the new Concord Picante label, where he remained until his death.
