I learned to love jazz at a very young age, and this was one of the first songs I remember. I spent my allowance to buy the album, ‘Soul Sauce’, which I still play today, and I will soon be 75 years old! I love Cal Tjader!
More Technique bet y been practicing that tune for Years,it just doesn’t sink with it most of the time and the tone is week it’s just not sharp enough fair to middle at a push
Those mallets sound like metal hitting medal, I like the softer mallets, they give a smoother less clashing of the pure notes, but I guess some like apples n some prefer oranges👍🏽🎼
I used to play a lot with Nick and also played a bit with Steve too, nice to see them here in your vid. Nick taught me so much about theory and harmony! Sounding great guys :)
