Welcome is an album by Santana, released in 1973. It followed the jazz-fusion formula that the preceding “Caravanserai” had followed, with a different lineup this time. Gregg Rolie had left the band along with Neal Schon to form Journey, and they were replaced by Leon Thomas and John McLaughlin joined for an extended jam. Welcome also featured John Coltrane’s widow, Alice, as a pianist on the album’s opening track, “Going Home” and Flora Purim, wife of Airto Moreira, on vocals. This was a great follow-up to “Caravanserai” and is part of the real Santana creative peak and his very successful incorporation of jazz.
