конечно, фьюжн Сантана и дальше играл, но уже довольно фрагментарно

thanks to my friends Santana - 1974 Borboletta. 2003 Edition Amazon.com Spotlight Reviews: The last album in Santana's fusion period --------------------------- I have so many Santana cds in my collection, yet this is probably my favorite. Not many folks have even heard this 1974 release. I have been listening to this recording for the last 30 years and it never gets old on me!! Carlos is a genius!! This cd is dreamy, vibrant, intriguing, intellectual, and deep. Buy it, Buy it, Buy it!!!!! ---------------------------- Borboletta is a continuation of Carlos Santana's focus on jazz, beginning with Caravanserai and partially interrupted with the more-laid-back Welcome. As in Caravanserai, the majority of the tracks (7 of 12) contain no verselines. Two of the numbers with lyrics--"Life Is Anew" and "Practice What You Preach"--reflect a nod toward gospel, and "Give and Take" has a funky texture. The verselines are so-so, lesser than those on Caravanserai. Still, between the inconsequential first and last tracks, all of the songs have jazzy soloing that ranges from very good to breathtaking. Indeed, Borboletta reflects a diversity of talent that appeared on it, in a period of transition for the Santana Band. Percussionists Michael Shrieve and Chepito Areas were soon to be on new paths. However, jazz keyboardist Tom Coster and percussionist Armando Peraza had debuted with the group very successfully on Caravanserai, and continued their fine performances here. Coster's piano notes highlight the beautiful "Canto De Los Flores." But Borboletta also has the key inclusions of two Brazilian percussionists and a Brazilian lady who supplies glowing choral vocals on the wonderful instrumental "Promise of a Fisherman." The flow of instrumentation from the Coltranesque "Here and Now" through "Flor De Canela" and climaxing with this Brazilian-textured masterwork is one of the most fantastic displays of heavenly musicianship Santana has ever displayed. Of equal stature is the instrumental "Aspirations," lovely, free-flowing modern jazz, with Coster's radiant organ and fabulous saxophone work by Jules Broussard. Carlos' guitar work on this album is terrific from start to finish, among his best, and the percussion section shines all the way as well (hardly a surprise). Borboletta is one of Santana's finest recordings, an instrumental tour de force, absolutely wonderful to listen to 1 Spring Manifestations Moreira, Purim 1:05 2 Canto de los Flores Coster, Santana 3:46 3 Life Is Anew Santana, Shrieve 4:16 4 Give and Take Coster, Santana, Shrieve 5:47 5 One With the Sun Martini, Martini 4:23 6 Aspirations Coster, Santana 5:12 7 Practice What You Preach Santana 4:32 8 Mirage Patillo 4:43 9 Here and Now Peraza, Santana 3:02 10 Flor de Canela Rauch, Santana 2:19 11 Promise of a Fisherman Caymmi 8:05 12 Borboletta Moreira 2:51 José Chepitó Areas Percussion, Conga, Timbales Jules Broussard Saxophone, Sax (Soprano), Sax (Tenor) David Brown Bass Michael Carpenter Guitar, Arp Echoplex Leon "Ndugu" Chancler Percussion, Drums, Vocals Stanley Clarke Bass Tom Coster Organ, Piano, Keyboards, Organ (Hammond), Piano (Electric), Vocals, Moog Synthesizer, Producer Airto Moreira Percussion, Drums, Sound Effects, Triangle, Vocals Leon Patillo Organ, Percussion, Keyboards, Piano (Electric), Vocals Armando Peraza Percussion, Bongos, Conga, Sax (Soprano), Vocals Flora Purim Percussion, Sound Effects, Vocals Doug Rauch Bass, Guitar Carlos Santana Guitar, Percussion, Conga, Gong, Vocals, Producer Michael Shrieve Drums, Producer Greg Walker Vocals |

Вот слушается просто на одном дыхании, легко красиво. Непонятно, куда его потом черти понесли, и, самое главное, зачем? Я, кстати, долго искал ответ на этот вопрос, кучу информации перерыл, какие-то перемены в жизни и пр.. Нет, никаких об'яснений на этот счет не нашел. Просто так ему захотелось. |
