Santana, who had created a sensation in the early 1970s with three consecutive big hit albums since his debut, released his fourth album in the fall of 1972, which drastically changed his sound approach from "motion" to "stillness. This album, which boasts the highest level of perfection in Santana's history, was another huge hit. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of this album, the world's first SA-CD multi-hybrid disc is finally available! The album is the first SA-CD multi-hybrid release in the world! The deep and grandiose style of Santana's work, with its Latin jazz flavor and spiritual mood, can be described as Santana-style progressive rock, and the high-dimensional fusion of "fantasy" and "sensuality" creates a mystical universe of Santana, which invites you to experience a different dimension of bliss than the stereo version through the high-quality surround mix. The high quality surround mix invites you to a blissful experience of another dimension than the stereo version.
Drawing on rock, salsa, and jazz, Santana recorded one imaginative, unpredictable gem after another during the 1970s. But Caravanserai is daring even by Santana's high standards. Carlos Santana was obviously very hip to jazz fusion – something the innovative guitarist provides a generous dose of on the largely instrumental Caravanserai. Whether its approach is jazz-rock or simply rock, this album is consistently inspired and quite adventurous. Full of heartfelt, introspective guitar solos, it lacks the immediacy of Santana or Abraxas. Like the type of jazz that influenced it, this pearl (which marked the beginning of keyboardist/composer Tom Coster's highly beneficial membership in the band) requires a number of listenings in order to be absorbed and fully appreciated. But make no mistake: this is one of Santana's finest accomplishments.
