Greetings all and welcome to the middle of another week here at the Corners du Funk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We here on the coast are in the middle of a ass-kicker of a storm, and while that\u2019s probablyscary enough for most (myself included<\/em>) Halloween is at hand, and so it behooved me to whip something a little scary onto the blog.<\/p>\n

Now \u2013 unless you find the combination of thick glasses and groovy vibes frightening\u2026someone probably does<\/em> \u2013 Cal Tjader<\/strong>, though scary talented, was not known for inducing fear in his listeners.<\/p>\n

However, he did find the time to record and extra smooth and tasty version of that old Hallows Eve perennial, \u2018Spooky\u2019.<\/p>\n

Originally recorded by Mike Sharpe<\/strong>, and then the Classics IV<\/strong> \u2013 who had a huge hit with it in 1968 \u2013 \u2018Spooky\u2019 is one of those great \u201cfits nicely in Halloween\u201d tunes that doesn\u2019t involve screaming, Frankenstein grunts or any other novelty hoo-hah.<\/p>\n

Mr. Tjader recorded the tune on his \u2018Cal Tjader Plugs In: Live at the Lighthouse\u2019 LP in 1969, with a great band that included Armando Peraza<\/strong> on percussion and Al Zulaica<\/strong> on electric piano (who adds a lot of flavor to the track).<\/p>\n

The band gets a nice groove going here, and Tjaders is \u2013 as always \u2013 in top form.<\/p>\n

His Skye stuff isn\u2019t easy to find, but always worth it when you can.<\/p>\n

I hope you all survive the storm, have yourselves a sweet and groovy Halloween, and (assuming I\u2019m not washed away in the storm) I\u2019ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
