Sebesky used a large group of 19 players to produce an immense sound. However, unlike the subdued and string accented \"Bumpin\", \"California Dreaming\" is a brassy, bouncy affair, with definite emphasis on bounce!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album features many fine soloists, including Herbie Hancock on piano, Bucky Pizzarelli on acoustic guitar, Ray Baretto on congas, and the steady backbeat of Grady Tate on drums. California Dreaming is an album whose time has arrived. In the '60s, jazz purists did not exactly appreciate jazz musicians who embraced pop music, but how times have changed! \"California Dreaming\" is a treat for music lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1 California Dreaming \u003cbr\u003eA2 Sun Down \u003cbr\u003eA3 Oh You Crazy Moon\u003cbr\u003eA4 More, More, Amor\u003cbr\u003eA5 Without You \u003cbr\u003eB1 Winds Of Barcelona \u003cbr\u003eB2 Sunny \u003cbr\u003eB3 Green Peppers \u003cbr\u003eB4 Mr. Walker \u003cbr\u003eB5 South Of The Border \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"ol1\"\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col class=\"ol1\"\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"LP Black - 5708539","offer_id":56413489922427,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3020\/0134\/files\/ljhfh.jpg?v=1789042682","url":"https:\/\/www.mixeduprecords.com\/products\/wes-montgomery-california-dreaming","provider":"Mixed Up Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
