    Time For 2 - Cal Tjader

    Album Description

    Cal Tjader's 1962 album, Time For 2, is a masterful collaboration with the incomparable Anita O'Day. This 12-track release is a testament to the chemistry between Tjader's polished Afro-Cuban grooves and O'Day's sultry, world-weary vocals. With a runtime of just 32 minutes, the album is a concise yet captivating exploration of Latin jazz, cool jazz, and exotica.

    From the opening notes of 'Thanks For The Memory' to the closing bars of 'I'm Not Supposed To Be Blue Blues', Tjader's tweedy, polite style provides the perfect backdrop for O'Day's megawatt personality to shine. Her saucy phrasings and subtly ironic wit are on full display, gently navigating the highly pureed blend of cool bop and Latin jazz that Tjader's combo provides.

    The result is an album that is at once sophisticated and playful, with Tjader's vibraphone work and O'Day's vocals combining to create a truly unforgettable listening experience. With its unique blend of styles and its impeccable performances, Time For 2 is a must-listen for fans of Cal Tjader and Anita O'Day, and a fascinating glimpse into the world of 1960s jazz. Released on the Verve Reissues label, this album is a treasure trove of jazz delights, and its influence can still be felt today.

    About Cal Tjader

    Cal Tjader, often hailed as the most successful non-Latino Latin musician, was a vibrant force in the world of Latin jazz. Born Callen Radcliffe Tjader Jr., his music seamlessly blended Afro-Cuban rhythms with mainstream jazz, creating a unique and captivating sound. Tjader's mastery of the vibraphone was a cornerstone of his artistry, and his ability to navigate between various jazz idioms, from cool jazz to bossa nova, made his performances and recordings truly special. After stints with jazz legends Dave Brubeck and George Shearing, Tjader dedicated himself to exploring the rich musical traditions of Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. His debut album for Verve, "In a Latin Bag," produced by Creed Taylor, is a testament to his talent and influence, featuring an all-star ensemble that included Armando Peraza on bongos and Paul Horn on flute. Tjader's discography, including classics like "Latin Kick" and "Agua Dulce," offers a journey through his innovative and infectious musical style, making him a beloved figure in the jazz world.
