Welcome

Read "Welcome" reviewed by Jeff Winbush


Once upon a time there was a guitar god who had grown bored with all his fame, riches and glory. He longed for something more than another multi-platinum selling record. He desired not simply acclaim, but respect. He knew to get it he would have to walk away from the distinctive style that made him popular and wealthy. It was a risk to confuse his band and his fans by making a radical change in his musical direction. But he ...

Santana: Shape Shifter

Read "Shape Shifter" reviewed by Jeff Winbush


The sticker plastered to Shape Shifter proclaims this is the Santana album 20 years in the making. Actually, it's the first album in 13 years where the guitarist doesn't just seem like a sideman on his own records. Nobody is more deserving of a career-reviving success story than Mexican-born Santana who was rewarded after years of falling sales and critical disinterest by the nobody-saw-it-coming success of Supernatural (Arista, 1998) which sold a whopping 15 million copies and won 11 Grammys.

Santana Santana III: Legacy Edition Legacy 2006

Carlos Santana is now revered as a guitar hero and symbol of musical diversity like few, if any, living figures in contemporary music. The San Francisco native took a decidedly circuitous route to this prestigious position, notwithstanding the commercial slant of his most recent, Grammy-award-winning blockbusters.

In the autumn of 1971, the band to which Carlos Santana had given his name were at the zenith of commercial ...

Santana: Live at the Fillmore '68

Read "Live at the Fillmore '68" reviewed by Douglas Payne


Live at the Fillmore '68 is an outstanding and welcome glimpse into the exciting musical invention of one of rock's most musically creative groups, Santana. It also offers much for jazz listeners to appreciate.
