Gato Barbieri - Caliente!
Caliente! Review
The album on which a fire-breathing revolutionary transformed himself into a smooth Latin love man, under the guidance of producer Herb Alpert and associate producer Michelle (Mrs. Gato) Barbieri. The rhythm tracks are tight and funky in a facile '70s fuzak sort of way, and Jay Chattaway's CTI-inspired orchestrations sound dated and corny. The arrangements conspire to stifle the Third World scream in Barbieri's raw and impassioned tenor sax tone. Yet he still manages to mate the steamy temperament of the tango with upscale funk on covers of Santana's "Europa" and Marvin Gaye's "I Want You." --Rick Mitchell

A Classic Jazz CD Without A Doubt
5
In 2003 I was doing 7 to midnight at Smooth Jazz 106.5 in Kansas City before it flipped to Country. Whenever I would play "Europa" off of this cd the phones would light up-sometimes up to 12 phone calls-asking "who is that doing that Santana classic so well and so beautifully" and even more amazing was the fact of getting such great listener response from an album of songs released in 1976. I swear it happened everytime I played this song without fail. Europa is truly a beautiful song and a Smooth Jazz classic and should be part of the night time rotation at every Smooth Jazz station in America. Other fantastic songs on this cd include "Don't Cry Rochelle", Marvin Gaye's "I Want You", and "Behind The Rain" are my favorites.

Santana wrote Europa a long time ago, but it's Gato Barbieri who made it a timeless piece of music. What an amazing musicican he is!
