Questa canzone la dedico a mio fratello Daniele.
"Song For My Brother" song n° 4 from the album "The Swing of Delight"(1980) by Carlos Santana. I love much this song and given that i've noticed that there was not an original track of this song here on youtube, i've decide to upload this beautiful song. Good listening.
Recorded in 1980, this set of latin infused jazz instrumental work-outs wavers, often precariously, between self-indulgence and brilliance. Drawing on the formats pioneered by Weather Report, the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Lifetime, and supported by a pantheon of jazz masters - including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Tony Williams - Carlos Santana comes dangerously close to producing a classic "jazz fusion" album. But... the problem that permeates the record is simple: the inherently melodic guitar playing and compositional style of his latin based music lead the listener to expectations that sit uncomfortably with the free-form, often frantic, improvisations that underpin the "fusion" format being adopted.
Virtually all of the tracks have a strong initial melodic "hook" that is then subjected to serious instrumental exploration. In some cases, such as "Love Theme From Spartacus" and "Song For My Brother" the formula works, quite superbly - two of the very best of Carlos Santana's tracks regardless of format or time. However, in others such as "Gardenia", "Phular Matan" and "Swapan Tari" the quest for improvisation at best intrudes into, and at worst seriously diverts from, a potentially highly satisfying outcome. The worst example of this is "Golden Hours" where a superb track is virtually destroyed by a final guitar and organ "jam" that leaves the listener with the distinct feeling that musical virtuosity as an end in itself has taken over. While brave, the truth is that to make Carlos Santana's latin style work in fast, improvisational jazz structures is very difficult - witness the fact that when the format is switched into more standard jazz fusion as in "Sher Kahn, The Tiger" (a straight reference to early Weather Report) the conflicts disappear and the outcome is not only excellent but comfortable and expected.
A "difficult" album on many levels but, in the end, worth the effort. Along with "Santana"'s very first album and his work with John Lee Hooker, this album contains some of the most innovative and exciting output that this marvellous guitarist has produced.
