I'd like to re-hash the Tjader discussion for a moment to mention one album that I've been listening to: Dave Samuels' Tjaderized, A Cal Tjader Tribute. It has a lot of heavys on it (Ray Barretto and others). Dave really has a good feel for Tjader's style and substance.
Johnny's right, no one can replace Tjader, but Samuels puts up a magnificent effort. When I first heard the album, I thought it was Tjader himself. Check it out.....
