Santana celebrates 'All That I Am' with club show

Carlos Santana 's long-delayed new album, "All That I Am," is finally due to reach stores Nov. 1, and the legendary guitarist and bandleader will celebrate its release that day with a rare club performance in New York City.

Santana and his eponymous band--who typically tour the arena and amphitheater circuits--are scheduled to perform an early show at the Hammerstein Ballroom, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m., according to promoters. Tickets go on sale Saturday (10/15) at 10 a.m. ET, and are expected to sell out fast. The club show comes on the heels of a lengthy North American tour that concludes Sunday (10/16) in Concord, CA.

No other North American dates are currently scheduled to follow the new album's release, but Santana is set to tour South America in March 2006, and will spend the rest of the spring touring Europe. Details are posted at Santana's website.

Santana's 2005 roadwork was originally expected to support "All That I Am." However, the album's initial spring release date was first pushed back to Sept. 6, and subsequently to November.

Several guests appear on "All That I Am, including Los Lonely Boys, Mary J Blige, Will.I.Am and Big Boi. The albums' first single, "I'm Feeling You," features Michelle Branch and he band The Wreckers.
