I honor you sir sunwaiter on your post above mentioning the album "Illuminations", by Turyia Alice Coltrane (former wife of John Coltrane) and Devadip Carlos Santana, on the song: "Angel Of Sunlight", the number 5 song on the album composed by Carlos Santana and Tom Coster - 14:43 minutes playing time.

On topic:

How about the songs "One With The Sun" and "Promise Of A Fisherman", from the SANTANA album Borboletta, CBS Records 1974.

The musicians:

Carlos Santana/Neal Schoon - electric guitars, vocals, percussion
Tom Coster - piano, organ, keyboards
Leon Patillo - organ, vocals
Douglas Rauch - double bass
David Brown - el. bass
Michael Shrieve - drums, percussion
Armando Pereza/Jose Chepito Areas/Airto Moreira - latin percussion

I always figured that the band SANTANA in the beginning of the 1970´s played more jazzy songs than rock tunes for instance on "Caravanserai" - "Borboletta" and the album "Welcome".

thank you for sharing this with me, intet-at-babe.

i think i heard the A Coltrane's 1970 recording once. i will look for it again. there are quite a lot of records of Turyia, and i don't know many of them.

caravanserai, welcome, borboletta, illuminations and lotus are what i consider to be real progressive albums, in the sense that it's quite hard to put a label on them. but you're right saying it is jazz-oriented.

i simply love Borboletta's "canto de los flores" and its beautiful electric piano phrase, and i dedicate it to you and all who want to hear.

Off topic:

Humbly and respectfully, with visible facial blushing all over :eek::eek: sir sunwaiter.

You´re always welcome.

I don´t think anyone here at the MIMF has ever complimented me with a musical dedication, and then to a favourite SANTANA album and song of mine having the three ordinary percussionists beginning this beautiful tune "Canto De Los Flores" on congas, congo drums, cow bell and the cymbals of Michael Shrieve etc. etc.

Funny isn´t it, SANTANA in Europe became famous due to the Woodstock Festival in upstate New York 1969. When the movie arrived to Denmark (I have seen it at least 10 times over the years) it was the song "Black Magic Woman", which became a hit single.

The song "Black Magic Woman" was composed originally by the english guitarist PETER GREEN, who used to play with Mick Fleetwood and John McVie in the Fleetwood Mac band late in the 1960´s, long before they all moved to the USA (for tax-reasons, I guess?), and the two new members Lindsey Buckingham (el. guitar, vocals) and Stevie Nicks (guitar and vocals) joined the band on the album "Rumours" in the latter part of the 1970´s.

"Lotus", the three double Live album from Japan imho the best record ever to present the electric guitar from Carlos and his feed-back sound on for instance "Samba Pa Ti" - "Incident At Neshabur" and finally "Toussaint L´Overture".

Of course the very jazzy album "Love, Devotion & Surrender" by Carlos and John McLaughlin another favourite of mine, introducing 4 drummers on the same album.

Now, sir sunwaiter :tiphat:, if you already have me figured out to be an early SANTANA fan, you´re right on the money. Like with Keith Jarrett, Pat Metheny, Chick Corea, Dave Holland, John McLaughlin, Charlie Haden and Jack DeJohnette (my totally favourite jazz drummer of all), I have the true pleasure in my life, like with the PINK FLOYD as well, to have all albums ever released in this tiny insignificant country, called Denmark.

Btw. sir Corno Dolce, a close.... jazz freak friend of mine and a huge Keith Jarrett and McCoy Tyner fan as well, cut my calling name intet-at-tabe (which translated from danish to english means: nothing-to-lose" down to - intet, within the first seven days after entering here the first time on January 1, 2008.

So please feel free to do so. intet, equals: nothing

wow thanks for the details intet-at-tabe. it is true that "black magic woman", as is "oye como va" for example, is mainly known for the Santana version. anyway what matters is the result uh? talking about Mick Fleetwood, at a friend's place one day i found a record he did in africa. i don't remember the name. it's not THE record i would seek but i'd like to find it again, cause there was some nice instrumental parts, and particularly an "afro-funk", or "afro-beat" track totally blew my mind. maybe it's some mainstream iteù i can find on cd in any supermarket but that was the LP and i don't know anything about fleetwood mack, stevie nicks, etc. i'm still quite young and have so much to discover, even if when you think about it twice, you come to the conclusion than even a dying man still has a lot to learn.

in france too it's hard to find some LPs! but there are some nice gems waiting for me in dirty crates!
