Album · 2012 · 13 Songs. Armed throughout with an arsenal of effects pedals, the band adds a wallop of ambient synths in Nomad, while Never the Same Again takes easy listening and throws in a dose of strangeness. Carlos Santana’s electrifying and slithery shredding is the spirit guide throughout, as evinced on Canela, which transports the listener into a fever dream of Latin-infused organ riffs. Shape Shifter Santana.

Shape Shifter is an album of instrumentals played by the regular band with Carlos' son, Salvador playing piano. Shape Shifter is infused with an energy and furious guitar solos and Carlos sounds like he's having a lot of fun, but it is not jazz. For all his professed love of the genre, Santana isn't a jazz guitarist. What he is is a rock guitarist who plays on jazz albums, as he did when he stepped in for Shorter on This Is This (Columbia, 1985) the last Weather Report record. The album is pretty, but most of the songs are built around Santana's guitar and Thompson's keyboards. Percussionists Raul Rekow and Karl Perazzo aren't given much to do until "Macumba In Budapest," which is a quintessential Santana jam. "Mr. Szabo" is a nod of Carlos' hat to Gabor Szabo, while the lone vocal track, "Eres La Luz" gives Andy Vargas and Tony Lindsay an opportunity to strut their stuff.
