Arranged\/conducted by Don Sebesky and produced by Esmond Edwards, the album features an ensemble including João Donato (organ), Red Mitchell (bass), Ed Thigpen (drums), and Hubert Laws (flute). Drawing on a broad palette of jazz, Latin, and blues influences, The Prophet reflects Tjader’s growing interest in composition and arrangement, balancing melodic elegance with rhythmic sophistication. Several of the album’s compositions were written by Brazilian pianist João Donato, adding a harmonic warmth and subtle bossa nova influence to the overall character. The Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSouled Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Prophet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquarius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCal's Bluedo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Time For Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTema Teimoso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Loner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cal Tjader","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":45603543974079,"sku":"UMGD-199957015141-BK","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/199957015141.jpg?v=1777501113","url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/products\/cal-tjader-the-prophet-verve-vault-series-lp","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
