 Producer Zev Feldman’s new imprint, Jazz Detective, launches never before released Cal Tjader live sets recorded in the 1960s at the Penthouse Jazz Club in Seattle.
 This is the first official release of previously unissued live Cal Tjader music in nearly 20 years.
 Transferred from the original tapes by Bernie Grundman, Cal Tjader’s ‘Catch The Groove. Live At The Penthouse 1963-1967’ is presented as a deluxe 2CD set and also a 180gram triple vinyl set.
 Package includes reflections by producer Zev Feldman and jazz writer Greg Casseus, as well as interviews with Poncho Sánchez, Eddie Palmieri, Joe Locke, Gary Burton, Carl Burnett, and Brent Fischer, and a statement by Tjader’s son and daughter Rob and Liz Tjader. The extensive booklet contains previously unpublished photos by Ray Avery and Fred Seligo.
 All of the performances heard on this set are previously unreleased. Legendary vibraphone player Tjader is heard with a variety of quintets, backed by pianists Clare Fischer, Lonnie Hewitt and Al Zulaica, bassists Fred Schreiber, Terry Hilliard, Monk Montgomery and Stan Gilbert, drummers Johnny Rae and Carl Burnett, and percussionists Bill Fitch and Armando Peraza.
 Taking its name from Feldman’s handle “the Jazz Detective” and reflecting his determined work unearthing hitherto unheard, award-winning treasures, the Jazz
Detective label is an imprint of Deep Digs Music Group, a partnership with Spain’s Elemental Music, with which Feldman has enjoyed a long professional relationship.
