Fantastic — and about as great as you’d imagine! The cool Latiny vibes of Cal Tjader meet the great compositions of Burt Bacharach, and the result is a shimmering set of tracks that forever defines the sound of groovy 60s! Cal’s the perfect choice for music like this — as his sense of space, time, and rhythm jibe perfectly with Burt’s magical tunes — making for incredible instrumental readings of tracks that include “My Little Red Book”, “Moneypenny Goes For Broke”, “Don’t Make Me Over”, and “I Say A Little Prayer”. Instrumentation includes organ and guitar next to the vibes — and production is by Gary McFarland, with the same gentle groove as his own best work!
