Recorded in 1972, Santana’s landmark Caravanserai marks the legendary guitarist’s foray into the jazzier, more adventurous territory that would define his career for the better part of the next two decades
Drawing from Miles Davis’ pioneering period work, Santana ups the musical complexity, ditching vocals on most tracks and embracing moodiness as a form of expression
Despite its sharp move away from conventional structures, Caravanserai reached the Top 10 of theBillboard charts and attained lavish critical acclaim
The last Santana effort to feature guitarist Neil Schon and organist Greg Rollie, who would leave and form Journey, Caravanserai also welcomed the arrival of keyboardist/composer Tom Coster, whose impact is immediately felt
Displaying no hints of the discord that would cause the ensemble to splinter after the record’s release, the band seamlessly melds withSantana’s divine jaunts into instrumental nirvana
And while prior releases spread the wealth, Santana’s role here is evidently clear from the start - this is where he’s elevated from a pioneering star to a guitar god
His guitar effortlessly darts amidst a rich aural canvas, knitted with contributions from a sextet of percussionists as well as Schon’s magisterial efforts
