Free Music Review: My favorite by Santana
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow!! This is my favorite Santana album. It is not a rock album or a fusion album but a classic improvised Jazz album with strong Latin, fusion and eastern influences.
The album has John Mclaughflin (fellow Chinmoy disciple at the time) playing on some tracks including the 11 minute `Flame sky'.
This album has some of the most delectable jazzy songs ever done by any rock or fusion artist. Songs like 'love Devotion and surrender', 'yours is the light' and 'when I look into your eyes' are clear masterpieces. All very hard to digest initially (like the first ever taste of beer) but amazing once you get the feel of the songs.
There are quite a few instrumentals all very fine and interesting with the opener being relatively mundane but all the other instrumentals are really great from mellow Latin jazz to furious concoction of heady fusion in 'flame sky' where the guitar duel between Carlos and John is worth the money of the album.
A few important points on this album:
1. This is not the average Santana work, rock or from the jazzy period. One needs to here this one with an open mind.
2. With the exceptions of a couple of numbers the guitar is not the most prominent instrument.
3. Vocals are very different and mellower compared to anything you would have ever heard by the Band.
4. Tom Coaster on the Keyboards really shines on this one along with the rhythm section of drummer Michael Shrieve and percussionist Armando Peraza.
Every time I listen to `Welcome' I love it more as all the songs are great and one can find something new, interesting and amazing with every listen.
All in all, `Welcome' is one of those albums which cannot be compared to any other album or style because of its uniqueness.
