Dave, you owe it to yourself to check out 'Borboletta', and
Santana/McLaughlin's 'Love, Devotion and Surrender' as well. All 5 of
these '71-'74 releases contain some of the most beautiful, creative and
powerful music Carlos has ever done, and 'Borboletta's' "Promise of A
Fisherman" has one of the most amazing guitar solos I've ever heard. If
Coltrane played the guitar, this is what he'd sound like.
