by
Carlos Santana
Guitarist Carlos Santana continues to record music, but when contemplating his body of work, it's difficult not to telescope to the "vintage" 1969-1975 period, from first albums Santana and Abraxas through to Lotus. Dance of the Rainbow Serpent offers a well-rounded, three-disc overview of his career, but its the sultry Latin rhythms and stinging ...

Moonflower [Bonus Tracks]
(2003)
more music like this
by
Santana
Moonflower was a bit of a strange deal in that the sprawling double album mixed live material from a 1976 London concert with studio tracks from 1977. The mixture also meant that several different lineups were involved, though there was an omnipresent core in Carlos Santana and keyboardist Tom Coster; the pair also wrote most of the original ...

Oneness: Silver Dreams Golden Realities

by
Carlos Santana
This is the first Carlos Santana solo album. It features members of the Santana band as backup, however, so the difference between a group effort and a solo work seems to be primarily in the musical approach, which is more esoteric, and more varied than on a regular band album. The record is mostly instrumental and given over largely to ...

Since he had joined Santana in 1972, keyboard player Tom Coster had been Carlos Santana's right-hand man, playing, co-writing, co-producing, and generally taking the place of founding member Gregg Rolie. But Coster left the band in the spring of 1978, to be replaced by keyboardist/guitarist Chris Solberg and keyboardist Chris Ryne. Despite the ...

The Best of Santana, Vol. 2
(2000)
more music like this
by
Santana
These 14 tracks lean heavily on the earliest phase of Santana. Nine of them, in fact, were recorded prior to 1972, and just one postdates 1978. As 1969-71 was Santana's most vital period, however, that's no cause for complaint, and indeed the later cuts really pale in comparison. For someone who wants a little more than a greatest hits collection ...
