Undoubtedly the most famous non-Latino leader of Latin jazz bands, an extraordinary distinction. From the 1950s until his death, he was practically the point man between the worlds of Latin jazz and mainstream bop; his light, rhythmic, joyous vibraphone manner could comfortably embrace both styles. FDC, 6.5 x 3.75, with a cachet honoring the 50th anniversary of ASCAP, signed and inscribed 'To Roger, Best regards, Cal Tjader.' In fine condition.
