Recorded in 1972, Santana's landmark Caravanserai marks the legendary guitarist's foray into the jazzier, more adventurous territory that would define his career for the better part of the next two decades. Drawing from Miles Davis' pioneering period work, Santana ups the musical complexity, ditching vocals on most tracks and embracing moodiness as a form of expression. Despite its sharp move away from conventional structures, Caravanserai reached the Top 10 of the Billboard charts and attained lavish critical acclaim. The last Santana effort to feature guitarist Neil Schon and organist Greg Rollie, who would leave and form Journey, Caravanserai also welcomed the arrival of keyboardist/composer Tom Coster, whose impact is immediately felt.
