Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (album)

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is an album by the American jazz vibraphonist Cal Tjader, released in 1967 on Verve Records. The album's title is a reference to the Stanley Kramer film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, which was also released in 1967 and addressed the then-controversial topic of interracial marriage. The music on the album features a blend of Latin jazz, bossa nova, and other world music influences, typical of Tjader's work. The album includes both original compositions and covers of popular songs. The personnel on the album typically feature Tjader on vibes, along with a supporting cast of musicians on various instruments, including percussion, piano, and bass. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner is considered a significant work within Tjader's extensive discography and a notable example of Latin jazz from the late 1960s.
