Cal Tjader & Carmen McRae - Heat Wave (1982)
Original Release Date: January 1982
Label: Concord Records
Bitrate: mp3 320 kbps

Let me start by saying that if your idea of jazz does not include "outside" influences, then forget it, if you think that there can be a "pure" form of jazz, then go somewhere else. This recording is one of the earlier truly equal marriages of jazz and Latin music, where both parts work together, and the playing is fantastic! The whole band works as one unit, no small feat when there are two trombones and one singer. With this recording, Carmen McRae continues the well established tradition of taking pop songs and giving them a new workout. She takes Evil Ways, and gives it a sultry rendition. Her versions of Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing, All is Fair and Heat Wave have real personality and warmth and great sensitivity on Upside Down (Flor de Lis, penned by the great Brazilian singer and composer Djavan) and Besame Mucho. This was the last album Tjader made before he died. The repertoire swings from jazz to Latin, including the merengue interpretation of Love with the drum kit playing a modification of a standard jazz patterns, as well as all the Latin-izing. And what a wonderful change it is to hear Latin jazz album that is not purely Cuban or Brazilian influenced, but takes ideas and rhythms from a few places. Jazz? No. Latin jazz? You bet, and awesome Latin
jazz at that! ~ CB
