I’d like to thank you on behalf of my Father , our Family and all the Fans of Cal Tjader I am eternally grateful for the capturing of my Dad’s tremendous sense of humor. He was Always On !
Thank you very kindly, your father still has a lot of fans out there. It would be really interesting for myself and those fans to hear a little bit more about your dad. Would you be interested in a future interview using this video as a back ground? I am currently setting up a studio of sorts in my office. My goal is to create a show for TH-cam called “Closet in Memories and Faded Dreams”. It will be a weekly installment based on old film, photographs, diaries, negatives, documents, and photo albums. I’ve been doing this for about 20 years I figured it’s about time to release step it up and share a little bit more of it. If you are interested, contact me at officeofimagearchaeology@yahoo.com. Meanwhile, thank you for the memory of your father, and for watching.
Your father was a genius and his music will always live. I am 40 years old and was introduced to his music a few years ago by a coworker when we were discussing Latin jazz . Now, I want to seriously learn the vibes in large part due to your dad’s music . He also seemed like a great person .
It's 2024, your father's music is as good as ever, and I personally have not stopped listening to it all these years. It's always on a playlist or a rotation somewhere, and the musicality and joy of music comes through in a heartwarming way.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I never got to see Mr Tjader love (I was underage) so a video like this one is the closest I can get to seeing Cal live.
I am pretty sure this was much earlier than 1965. According to S. Duncan Reid''s biography of Cal Tjader, the quintet only performed once at the Berry Patch Club between 14-16 March 1963. Pianist Clare Fisher left and formed his own band shortly after (as Cal hints at 2:01). Judging by the interviewer's comments at 0:25, this interview must take place on March 15, 1963. Thank you for uploading! It's a rare, candid insight into Cal's personality, style, and tastes.
JRott thank you very much I did what I could to research this butt all I could get was about 1965. when I have a chance I'll change the information but I don't think I will do anything with the title on the film. at least not right now I have too many other projects going. thanks for your information though.
So cool, laid back, good humoured and witty. Totally fits the vibe of his music. Kinda guy you'd like to have drink with, kinda music you like to have a drink to.....a mojito of course.
@@OfficeofImageArchaeology Absolutely! And I do agree that the world needs to know know more about Cal Tjader. I didn't mention this, but my father had an opportunity to play with Cal Tjader in New York many years ago. My father was an exceptional xylophonist himself and toured with many artists like Cal Tjader and even Tito Puente. My father played many instruments but he favored the xylophone most. I grew up with the sounds of scales being played in my house every evening and on the weekends. I could;t appreciate as a child the beauty of this instrument, but I came to understand quickly that it was an absolute joy. I later became a musician because of my father's influence. When he passed away several years ago I was fortunate enough to inherit many of his vinyl records. So, you could imagine the collection of mint records Cal Tjader records that I own today because of my father. Watching this meant a lot and it surely brought me back. I will certainly share this video, my friend!
This is Amazing!! Thanks George Mihal, it is appreciated, my Parents got a huge kick out of this because they went there to see Cal Tjader and his Group at this very club! We are originally from Sacramento been in NYC 2 years. I became a Musician because of Cal Tjader and a select few. Special Thanks has to go to Duane Anderly for having this to begin with. Who was the Reporter and what month was this in 1965?
Your parents will also enjoy several other films from that same time period. I also have films from the State Fair in Sacramento and a group that was called the Fydallions at the old Tropicana Lounge. They later became Spiral Starecase. As far as this Tjader interview there is some contention where the date is involved. Please read below for more information. I will see if I can get more information for you on the reporter.
That is really very cool. Would love to do a video about the Berry patch and some of the other local Sacramento clubs from the 60s. Any stories would be really nice. Thank you for watching.
Cal Tjader is perhaps one of the few American jazz artists not of Hispanic descent to be so strongly associated with Latin jazz. I think that, without him, Carlos Santana's rock band, Santana, might not nearly have been popular. And I also think that were it not for him, Miles Davis's Sketches of Spain album, which had been released during the midst of Tjader's popularity, might never have existed.
Thank You,what a great video ,to actuality hear Cal talk!!! He comes across as warm as his playing,have loved this cat since I was like12,13 years old...Thank You again and keep anything from Cal coming!!

So Do I. I was hooked when the older guys in Williamsburg, played played the Soul Sauce LP.
I've championed your dad's music for years in London Jazz clubs, so people called me Tjader, so I changed my name 30yrs ago, no disrespect.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I never got to see Mr Tjader love (I was underage) so a video like this one is the closest I can get to seeing Cal live.
Thank you for sharing! This interview is marvelous!
Cal, one of the greatest!
Gracias George and Duane for sharing this gem
