Product Details

Released the same year Carlos Santana deepened his relationship with John Coltrane's spiritual approach to improvisation, Caravanserai found the band trading arena-rock ambition for something closer to a meditative collective journey. The influence of Miles Davis's electric period hangs over the record, and several longtime bandmates departed after its completion, unwilling to follow where the music was heading.

Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Includes digital download. Caravanserai is the fourth studio album by Santana, released on October 11, 1972. It marked a major turning point in Carlos Santana's career as it was a sharp departure from his critically acclaimed first three albums. The sound contrasted greatly with Santana's trademark fusion of salsa, rock, and jazz, and concentrated mostly on jazz-like instrumental passages. All but three tracks were instrumentals, and consequently the album yielded no hit singles. The album is the first among a series of Santana albums that were known for their increasing musical complexity, marking a move away from the popular rock format of the early Santana albums toward a more contemplative and experimental jazz sound.
