Let's travel back to the mid-1970s. As we settle in at our tables, expectations rise as we await performances by two vibraphonist giants—Cal Tjader and Milt Jackson—who will perform separately with their respective groups. [Photo above of Cal Tjader by Brian McMillen]
Cal Tjader's band includes Clare Fischer on Fender Rhodes and Poncho Sanchez on percussion. Milt Jackson is backed by pianist Art Hillery, bassist Allen Jackson and drummer Jimmy Smith. [Photo above of Milt Jackson by Chuck Stewart]
Many thanks to Jimi Mentis in Athens for alerting me to this clip...
