Recorded over two days in San Francisco in August 1971, For Those Who Chant is a remarkable showcase from trumpeter Luis Gasca that brought together one of the most impressive ensembles of the era. The lineup reads like a who's who of early 70s talent, featuring Carlos Santana and a young Neal Schon on guitar, Stanley Clarke on bass, Lenny White on drums, and the legendary Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone — a convergence of Latin rock energy and jazz sophistication that is truly something to behold.

The result is an album that defies easy categorization, blending the rhythmic fire of the original Santana sound with the improvisational depth of jazz, creating something that appeals far beyond any single genre. Now reissued as part of the prestigious Verve By Request Series and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man Records in Detroit, this is a chance to own a beautifully presented version of a recording that has long captivated fans of jazz, Latin rock, and boundary-pushing music from this golden era.
