Cal Tjader - Shoji

I see on Laserradio's Popcorn show next saturday the title Shoji.
A very fine instrumental tune.
It comes from 1963-Tjader, Cal - Breeze From The East, in my opinion a nice 'easy listening' instrumental album. I see Theo has taken it from the album Cal Tjader goes Latin.

AMG Review by Stephen Cook
Cal Tjader's Breeze from the East combined the vibist's Latin lounge style with kitschy Asian touches. In lieu of the Asian-born material and Lalo Schifrin's airy arrangements found on its predecessor Several Shades of Jade, though, Tjader opted here for Stan Applebaum's self-penned go-go charts. On "Sake and Greens," "Cha," and "Shoji," mod-rock guitar lines shadow Tjader's solos on pat-sounding Oriental scales, while pianist Lonnie Hewitt keeps up a soul-jazz rhythm — picture '60s-era James Bond on a wild chase through the heart of Tokyo.
Tjader's traditionally light, Latin combo approach — sans much of the Eastern ornamentation — is still used on standards like "Stardust" and "East of the Sun (And West of the Moon)" and even worked to somewhat sublime heights on "Fuji" and "Black Orchid." The ultra-smooth Latin jazz sound Tjader favored has always been more infectious than demanding and Breeze from the East's commercialized mod/eastern elements only end up expanding the pop exotica mix. Breeze from the East is only available on a double CD with Several Shades of Jade, but considering the comparable quality of both discs, it's not a bad deal or a kitsch overload.

As usual the comments is 'the place to be'.

Dear Jean,
thank's for "Several Shades Of Jade", this record I listened last in 1968 and looked for it since then - my original record I lend to a girl-friend, the girl I saw never again and so the record, too.
Thank's again and greetings.
Woody
