CAL TJADER

Kurz-Bio:
Der Latin-Jazz-Musiker, insbesondere Vibraphonist, und Orchesterleiter Cal Tjader, wurde am 16. Juli 1925 in St. Louis, Missouri, als Callen Radcliffe Tjader geboren und verstarb am 5. Mai 1982, noch nicht 57-jährig, in Manila, Philippinen, wo er sich auf Konzert-Tournee befand, an einem Herzleiden. Seine Eltern stammten aus Schweden und sein Vater leitete in den USA ein Varieté, wo Cal sicherlich vom "Musik-Bazillus" angesteckt wurde, der ihn schlußendlich zu seiner musikalischen Karriere führte.
