"Live at the Fillmore '68" (03/11/1997) Rock & Pop Santana, Legacy RecordingsSantana: Carlos Santana (vocals, guitar); Gregg Rolie (vocals, piano, organ); David Brown (bass); Bob "Doc" Livingston (drums); Marcus Malone (congas). Producer: David Rubinson. Reissue producer: Bob Irwin. Recorded live at the Fillmore West, San Francisco, California on December 19-22, 1968. Includes liner notes by Alan Di Perna. This is part of Legacy Records' Live From The Vaults series. Eight months prior to their triumphant worldwide debut at Woodstock, Santana played a 4-night set at the Fillmore West on December 19-22, 1968. The resulting 2-disc recording from this fertile developmental period ably demonstrates the remarkably creative path Carlos Santana took to inevitable fame. Utilizing a line-up that included Gregg Rolie, vocals and keyboards, David Brown, bass, Doc Livingston, drums and Marcus Malone, congas, the band's sound was a tasty gumbo of rhythm and passion. As evidenced in their set list, Santana's influences at this time included master African percussionist Babatunde Olatunki ("Jingo"), jazz musician Chico Hamilton ("Conquistadores Rides Again") and Albert King ("As The Years Go Passing By"). Grooves were the name of the game, and the chemistry between Rolie and Carlos Santana was at the core of these performances, whether its the give-and-take improvising going on between the two in "Fried Neckbone" or the slow, after-hours jazz vibe Rolie lays down at the beginning of "Treat," which ends up morphing into a Latin-flavored rock number. A fascinating live document showcasing the embryonic stages of Santana's trademark improvisational talents.

"Santana III (Legacy Edition) [Digipak]" (02/21/2006) Rock & Pop Santana, Legacy RecordingsSantana: Gregg Rolie (vocals, piano, organ); Carlos Santana (guitar, background vocals); Neal Schon (guitar); Jose Chepito Areas (flugelhorn, drums, congas, timbales, percussion, background vocals); Michael Shrieve (vibraphone, drums, percussion); David Brown (bass guitar); Michael Carabello (congas, tambourine, percussion, background vocals). Following on the heels of Santana's 1970 breakthrough, ABRAXAS, 1971's SANTANA III is teeming with the eclectic mix of rock, blues, jazz, R&B, and Latin rhythms for which the band is known. Though somewhat more jam-oriented than its predecessor, SANTANA III is no less of an achievement. Full of percolating webs of percussion, jazzy keys parts, infectious call-and-response vocals, and the searing twin guitar attacks of Carlos Santana and Neal Schon (who later went on to form Journey), the album is an absorbing sonic experience from back to front. Given Carlos Santana's late-career partnerships with everyone from Rob Thomas to the Black Eyed Peas, it's sometimes hard to remember that his band was a product of San Francisco's late-'60s psychedelic rock scene. While the band's music represents the wide-open aesthetic of that milieu, it also dates much better than other music of the time, in large part because of its groove-oriented accessibility and the formidable skills of the musicians. SANTANA III holds up particularly well, and sounds not a whit out of place in the mashed-up, multi-culti 2000s. The 35th Anniversary Deluxe Edition features remastered sound and a bonus disc of Santana performing live at San Francisco's Fillmore auditorium in 1971.

"Greatest Hits" (11/29/1992) Rock & Pop Santana, Columbia (USA)Santana includes: Carlos Santana (guitar); Tom Coster (keyboards); Mike Shrieve (drums). Producers: Santana, Brent Dangerfield, Fred Catero. This is the cream of the crop of the band's early radio hits. Culled from their first three albums released between 1969 and 1971, these are the perennial favorites that remain synonymous with the name Santana. While Carlos himself is generally known more for his instrumental ventures than pithy vocal cuts such as these, his singular brand of Afro-Cuban blues-rock is revealed in classic form here. There's the slow-rolling, low-riding groove of "Evil Ways" and supremely mellow take on Tito Puente's "Oye Como Va." Carlos' solo on the latter continues to shape musical imaginations the world over. Gregg Rolie's gnarly Hammond organ riff opens the fierce rocker "Hope You're Feeling Better," yielding to a searing fuzz-wah solo by Carlos. The bluesy strains of his guitar melody immediately set the tone for the ever-mystical "Black Magic Woman," with Rolie delivering each verse in oddly sedate, reverb-soaked form. "Samba Pa Ti" is the first and probably most well-known of Carlos' instrumental ballads. Timeless and riveting, it is the epitome of the word "bittersweet."

"All That I Am" (11/01/2005) International Santana, Arista Records (USA)Santana: Carlos Santana (guitar, background vocals); Bill Ortiz (trumpet); Jeff Cressman (trombone); Chester Thompson (organ); Benny Rietveld (bass guitar); Dennis Chambers (drums); Karl Perazzo (congas, timbales, percussion, background vocals); Raul Rekow (congas, background vocals). Additional personnel: Henry Garza (vocals, guitar); Jojo Garza (vocals, bass guitar); Joss Stone, Mary J. Blige, Michelle Branch, Andy Vargas, Anthony Hamilton, Steven Tyler, Bo Bice (vocals); Sean Paul , Will.I.Am, Big Boi (rap vocals); Gabriel Abularach (guitar, keyboards, bass guitar); George Pajon Jr., Kirk Hammett, Tim Pierce (guitar); Robert Randolph (pedal steel guitar); David Stout (trombone); Moussa Diouf (piano, bass instrument); Preston Fulwood (organ); Dante Ross (keyboard); Kenny Aronoff, Jeff Rothschild (drums); Jessica Harp (background vocals). Continuing with the formula of its Grammy-winning predecessors, SUPERNATURAL and SHAMAN, 2005's ALL THAT I AM once again finds Carlos Santana pairing off with a diverse group of superstar musicians. While some of the combinations seem perfectly natural--the jam with Austin's Los Lonely Boys, "I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love," is a match made in virtuoso heaven--others are more unexpected and showcase Santana's ability to master numerous strains of pop and rock. "Trinity" is an shredder's dream as Carlos squares off with Metallica's Kirk Hammett and neo-bluesman Robert Randolph, while tracks featuring Mary J. Blige and Outkast's Big Boi ("My Man") and Anthony Hamilton ("Twisted") offer the kind of R&B groove that made "Sway" such a smash. As expected, the production on ALL THAT I AM is pristine, and Santana's guitar work is as impeccably fluid as ever, particularly on the albums two opening tracks. On both "Hermes" and "El Fuego," the singer/guitarist goes in alone and really cuts loose to indulge in the Latin rock fusion that brought him to prominence in the late 1960s. It's as if Santana wants to remind listeners where his heart's really at before bringing in the likes of Michelle Branch, Bo Bice, and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler to generate some hits. Still, the truly uplifting salsa/hip-hop anthem "I Am Somebody," featuring Will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas, is so infectious it's hard to imagine anyone dismissing it. ALL THAT I AM proves there's still some life left in this novel concept, and it's sure to be a hit with both Santana fans and those of his latest musical pals.

"Santana (3rd LP)" (03/24/1998) Rock & Pop Santana, Legacy RecordingsSantana: Carlos Santana (vocals, guitar); Jose Chepito Areas (vocals, flugelhorn, drums, congas, timbales, percussion); Gregg Rolie (vocals, piano, organ); Neal Schon (guitar); Michael Schrieve (vibraphone, drums, percussion); David Brown (bass instrument); Michael Carabello (congas, tambourine, percussion, background vocals). Additional personnel: Rico Reyes (vocals); Luis Gasca (trumpet); Tower Of Power Horns (horns); Mario Ochoa (piano); Gregg Errico (tambourine); Coke Escovedo (percussion, background vocals); Linda Tillery (background vocals). Recording information: Columbia Studios, San Francisco, California. All it takes is a listen to the opening track and you know this band means serious business. From the very first measures of "Batuka," SANTANA III rocks on the eardrums like a ton of bricks. While the band's first album and ABRAXAS were widely celebrated at the time of their release, this masterly work steamrollered to #1 on Billboard for five consecutive weeks in 1971. By this point, the band was clearly more seasoned at arranging and making the studio experience work for them--the music is at once scorching, heavy, experimental, and disciplined. Indeed, the Santana band had already come a long way on its Latin rock-blues-R&B-funk journey, and yet this would be the final recording with the original Woodstock-era lineup, with guitar genius Carlos Santana and organist/singer Gregg Rolie at the core of the action. Every track is a "deep cut." "Batuka" and "Toussaint L'Overture" feature the kind of classic, wailing Santana guitar riffs that always inspire a few notches worth of volume increase on the stereo. The band's pulsating Afro-Latin rhythm section is in full force on these tunes as well, and makes real mincemeat of the uplifting favorite, "Everybody's Everything."

"The Anthology [Remaster]" (04/04/2006) Rock & Pop Santana, CleopatraSantana: Gregg Rolie (vocals, keyboards); Neal Schon, Carlos Santana (guitar); David Brown (bass guitar); Michael Shrieve (drums); MIchael Carbello (congas); Chepito Areas (percussion). Recording information: Pacific Recording, San Mateo, California (1969). A two-disc set of early recordings by Santana, THE ANTHOLOGY primarily features 1969 studio sessions by the groundbreaking Latin-rock band (which at the time was still very much an ensemble, as opposed to a vehicle for Mr. Carlos). Although the group was still in its infancy, the signature Latin-psychedelia sound was already well established on these tunes, with Carlos's blistering guitar leads and Gregg Rolie's bold keyboard lines soaring over propulsive and contagious rhythms. While the various jams (most notably "Santana Jam" and "Jam in E") shine the spotlight on Santana's energetic and already-intuitive instrumental interplay, a soulful, Joe Cocker-inspired cover of the Beatles' "With a Little Help from My Friends" and the sauntering "Travellin' Blues," showcase the band's skill in interpreting pop and blues, respectively. Of the collection's two bonus tracks, DJ Rad's club-ready remix of "El Corazon Manda" seems wholly out of place, while a sprawling 1968 concert version of "Evil Ways" proves to be a lively addition that sheds further light on the group's pioneering early work.

"Santana (1st LP): Legacy Edition [Digipak]" (10/19/2004) Rock & Pop Santana, Legacy RecordingsAlso available in a 3-pack with ABRAXAS and SANTANA (3rd LP). Santana: Carlos Santana (vocals, guitar); Greg Rolie (vocals, piano, organ); Dave Brown (bass); Mike Shrieve (drums); Jose Chepito Areas (timbales, congas, percussion); Mike Carabello (congas, percussion). Reissue producer: Bob Irwin. Recorded at Pacific Recording, San Mateo, California in May 1969 and live at The Woodstock Festival, Bethel, New York on August 16, 1969. Includes liner notes by Ben Fong-Torres. Before the arrival of Carlos Santana's eponymous band, the San Francisco rock scene drew the inspiration for its jam-oriented music mainly from blues, rock, and Eastern modalities. Santana added Latin music to the mix, forever changing the course of rock & roll history. On Santana's groundbreaking debut album, the group mixes Latin percussion with driving rock grooves. Santana's unique guitar style, alternately biting and liquid, vies with the multiple percussionists for the sonic focus. Unlike later efforts, Santana's first album features an abundance of loose collective compositions based on a couple of simple riffs ("Jingo," "Soul Sacrifice"). This approach allows for Santana and his bandmates to flex their improvisational muscles to fine effect. The high energy level on SANTANA is infectious--the laid-back feel of other '60s S.F. groups was clearly not for Carlos and company.

"Love Devotion Surrender [Remaster]" (09/30/2003) Rock & Pop Santana, Carlos, Legacy RecordingsPersonnel: Carlos Santana (guitar); Mahavishnu John McLaughlin (guitar, piano); Larry Young (organ); Doug Rauch (bass); Billy Cobham, Don Alias, Jan Hammer, Mike Shrieve (drums); Armando Peraza (congas). Recorded in 1972. Originally released on Columbia (32034). Includes liner notes by Hal Miller. Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin are two of jazz-rock's finest guitarists, virtuosos who temper their fire with deep spirituality. This album is a summit meeting between the two string wizards and their respective bands; Santana's percussionists mix it up with Jan Hammer and Billy Cobham of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The guitarists created this album as a tribute to their then-guru, spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy. The passion and purity of their belief in Chinmoy's teachings is matched by the technical facility that could only have come from the discipline their faith provided them. Two Coltrane pieces open up the album. Santana and McLaughlin enter with all guns blazing, breathing electric fire on a raucous version of "A Love Supreme," given a '73-vintage fusion overhaul. Things get acoustic and contemplative on Coltrane's "Naima." Two blazing, all-out shredfests follow, with death-defying fretwork from both of the principals. Things close out on a reflective note with the short, gentle, acoustic-based "meditation." LOVE DEVOTION SURRENDER is a classic of the first and greatest jazz-rock era, recommended to fans of the leaders' aforementioned bands, as well as aficionados of the Tony Williams Lifetime and Miles Davis's BITCHES BREW, both of which featured McLaughlin.
