Description Giants (Ft. Carlos Santana) - 1978 Giants (Vinyl-FLAC) Artist: Giants Title: Giants Year of Release: 1978 (L.A. International Records) Genre: Latin Jazz-Funk Format: Vinyl > FLAC Super Session Often Mistaken For A Long Lost Santana LP… Which It Partly Is! Obscure mid-70s gathering of greats that never made it to the CD age, featuring Herbie Hancock, Carlos Santana, Lee Oskar (War), composer/producer Greg Errico (Sly & The Family Stone), Doug Rauch (Billy Cobham) and numerous members of the Santana band including Greg Rollie, Neal Schon, Coke Escovedo, Mike Carabello and others. It’s not hard to hear the Santana sound spread across these mostly instrumental jams so it’s also not hard to understand why these tracks sometimes found their way onto licensed (and unlicensed) cheapie compilations billed simply as “Santana” – especially the track “Fried Neckbones And Home Fries”. But a deeper listen will show there’s much more going here including a vast array of influences from War to psych jazz to Betty Davis-styled funk (a few players are Davis alumni) to the emerging disco trend all fused together with little concern for radio play or mass acceptance. Which might be why it’s still strictly a vinyl time capsule today. Given the veteran Santana band players involved you have to figure these sessions took place years before the LP’s 1978 release. The Lee Oskar dominated “Kilimanjaro” is a standout as is the smoldering Santana-esque "Pancho Villa". Track List: 1. Attitude 2. They Change It 3. Kilimanjaro: The Villiage > The Summit 4.
