Carlos Santana has many awesome instrumentals. Too many to list actually.

I also love a few by Chet Baker!

tA, you been busy this afternoon collecting a lot of fine sides for us.

Here are two from my list that represent opposite sides of the spectrum, one funky rocker and one mellow chiller.

Joe Tex by Buddy Miles came out in I believe 1970 on his Message to the People album with awesome cover art by the late great Abdul Mati Klarwein who also did the cover art for Mile's Bitches Brew and Santana's Abraxas.



Remember this is some 38 years old and listen to the fine stereo mixing job by engineer, Jack Adams of The Record Plant. The sound is just impeccable the way the instruments are all so balanced. Nothing gets lost and the arrangement is so smooth the way each instrument segues from solo to solo. Absolutely superb.

http://www.last.fm/music/.../_/Joe+Tex click on the start button in the upper right hand quadrant of your screen to play the tune.


The other instrumental is actually some incidental music by keyboardist Jann Hammer from the TV series Miami Vice.

It's not really "a song" in the truest sense of the word but Hammer captures some kind of vibe that I've always found particularly haunting. I made a loop of it and sometimes put it on late at night while I'm working. It incites creativity for me.

Enjoy.
