Sky Islands album for sale Product Description

Sky Islands album for sale by Caldera was released Dec 27, 2011 on the Perspective label. Caldera's second album, Sky Islands, found the fusion band working with a vocalist for the first time. Singer Dianne Reeves, who had yet to record a solo album and was little known in 1977, is featured on Eduardo del Barrio's haunting "Ancient Source" and provides wordless background vocals on the Earth, Wind & Fire-minded title song (which Reeves would cover for Blue Note ten years later). Sky Islands CD music contains a single disc. ...See Full Description

Caldera "Sky Islands"...my wait is FINALLY over!
folks who are familiar with this treasure only need to be told that it's now available on CD! Those Latin/jazz fusion lovers who aren't familiar with it, i'd REALLY recommend that you pick up a copy. It's truly one of those rare musical snapshots of artists before they became part of a "who's who in music" Wikipedia entry. George & Eddie Del Barrio, Dianne Reeves, Jorge Strunz (Strunz & Farah), Dean Cortez (Hiroshima), Larry Dunn (EW&F), Steve Tavaglione and others. My personal favorite track is "Triste" which features EXCELLENT guitar & sax work by Strunz and Tavaglione, respectively, against a mesmerizing melody and counter melody. I must admit that the first time that I heard "Ancient Source", I rushed to pick up the album (yes, WAX) and read the credits to find out who was doing the vocal & bass work. I never forgot the names Dianne Reeves and Dean Cortez. I knew that they'd make their marks in music before it was all said and done! Bottom line: The is an often overlooked gem...pick it up! Enjoy!!!

Finally.......What took so long
Finally it's on cd. I have searched online for years trying fi find this one. Produced by Larry Dunn of Earth, Wind and Fire fame,this all-star list of players deliver a superb blend of jazz and Latin music with superb horn and guitar solos sure to please. And with the vocals of new artist at the time Dianne Reeves on "Ancient Source" and the smooth sounds of "Triste", you'll be encaptued. One of the best fusion albums ever!
