Juan,
Have not had the time recently due to starting a new job etc to give me best
attention to the group, but I want to say to you, many thanks for all the advice
over the past year, and please stay safe, enjoy the life, and keep working!
All the best,
?
Mark Cassidy

Imo, Santana has made a career of playing solos over 2-chord songs, iim7
to V7 ad nauseam. I'm not dissing him or anything, but y'know? "Yours is
the Light" is on his "Welcome" album, it was written by the late pianist
Richard Kermode and Flora Purim, who sings it. It's a lovely tune. The song
has some really nice chord changes, and Santana does a good job of soloing
with emotion, instead of just phoning it in. "Welcome" has some really
nice tunes on it, and some good jazz players on it, like Flora, Leon Thomas,
and the great Joe Farrell. It is, to my knowledge the only album on which
Santana plays bass on a tune, "Mother Africa".
Cheers,
JV

What, you mean he doesn't have to just play pentatonic licks while the
chords go I, Iv, I, IV etc.? :)
