Playing coffee cans...

Ooooh Cal Tjader, now you're talking - there's a picture of him wearing what looks like a grey flannel suit, with a rep tie and those glasses, leaning over his vibes - cool as fook. But the music - that's the thing, a bluesey, jazzy, latin melange - what more do you want ffs!?!

I've got all his stuff tucked away somewhere.  Time to get it out...

It's the fourth photo down that Rip was referring to:

I reckon Evans' rather attractive wife must have weaned him off the junk for a while, maybe shoved some carbs into him, advised him to invest in some nice, funky orange shirts fit for the 1970s.  Big mistake.

Stan looks good in that, same pink shirt and black tank top that Marky Murphy wears on the cover of 'Rah!'

Beatnik's recent talk of bongos has got me all latin jazzed and revved up and I went straight from work to purchase some rare congas, cowbells, maracas, jawbone, vibes, timbales and African drum ultra rare groove inspired latin jazz percussion including: Stitt Goes Latin, The Latin Jazz Quintet, Herbie Mann's African Suite and Jazz Comittee for Latin American Affairs. No Cal Tjader on these albums, but still great perscussion: Ray Mantilla, Jose Manguel, Carlos Valdes, Victor Pantoja, Vance Anderson, whoever he is and a few other keepers of the sacred beat. And the beat goes on and the beat goes on......

I think when you slap it with a close cut trouser and no break the contrast is really cool.

Just look out for anything by Lands End made in the 90's to my knowledge they will be huge.
