Santana – Welcome (CD, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Columbia / Legacy CK 85944)

Why This CD Matters
Welcome captures Santana leaning further into jazz-rock and Latin jazz, with extended arrangements and an expansive, spiritual feel. The set moves from the Alice Coltrane-arranged “Going Home” through the Latin groove of “Samba De Sausalito” to the long-form “Flame-Sky,” featuring John McLaughlin.

Collector Note
This 2003 Columbia/Legacy remaster adds “Mantra,” a previously unreleased track recorded in April 1973. It was mastered by Vic Anesini and includes the original nine-track album plus the bonus cut.
