Grew up listening to Cal Tjader and he continues to be one of my faves too (but I'm also a sucker for anything with vibes). I read somewhere that Carlos Santana was heavily influenced by his music because his mom was really into Cal and played his records all the time. You can really hear that influence on Santana's earlier work.
