When I was a high school teenager, one of my local friends was Jerry Garcia. We rode to high school together to Cantwell Catholic High School in the back of a truck each morning for three years (1960-1962). Jerry had a nice collection of jazz records, and we listened to them a lot at his house. Jerry Garcia later became an Irish Christian Brother as his career.
We listened to a lot of Afro-Cuban jazz. Cal Tjader's groups were one of Jerry's favorites, and he had many Tjader albums. In 1965, I purchased the "Soul Sauce" album by Cal Tjader.
