Cesar

Lost Latin funk from the Bay Area's 70s scene. Produced by legendary Teo Macero, this album blends jazz, soul, Latin, and funk with stellar musicianship—Hadley Caliman on flute and tenor, Steve Marcus on soprano sax, Benny Velarde on timbales, Francisco Aguabella on congas, and keyboards from Cesar, Mark Levine, and Merl Sanders. Full, flowing grooves with Santana-inspired guitar work and occasional vocals from Linda Tillery. Essential instrumental listening featuring "See Saw Affair," "Azucar," "Descarga," "The Devil & Montezuma," "Gotta Get Away," and "Bridges."
