Cal Tjader 
1925-1982

A vibraphonist and jazz band leader, born in St. Louis, Missouri to parents of Swedish descent. He played percussion with the original Dave Brubeck Trio, and started experimenting with Afro-Cuban rhythms in the 1940s and 50s, bringing the West Coast sensibility of "cool jazz" to "los ritmos calientes" (hot rhythms) of Latino popular music.  He is regarded as one of the most acclaimed Anglo musicians who performed Latin jazz and recorded in excess of 80 albums.
