Take fiery Latin rhythms, intriguing jazz harmonies and add a whole lot of raw soul, and you have the unmistakable sound of Poncho Sanchez. Capture Poncho's red-hot brand of Latin jazz live in front of a packed house, and now you're really cookin'. Now you've got Latin Soul, the latest - and quite possibly the hottest - recording from the master conguero. "Conceptual understanding of music leads one to realize that rhythm, melody and harmony are extensions of the human soul. Poncho Sanchez has given to Latin jazz what Ghandi gave to peace and tranquility. Total love, commitment and understanding that has moved the soul of humanity into a state of unity. Bravo Poncho for taking us with you." - Edward James Olmos
Recorded live at two leading California nightspots, Yoshi's in Oakland and the Latin-specializing Conga Room in Los Angeles (the actual sound in the Conga Room is never as good as that on this CD), Concord no doubt hoped for an exceptionally hot live session from this tireless defender of the Latin jazz tradition. What they got was merely a decent album, listenable, danceable, yet lacking that extra flash of Latin fire. Sanchez leads his usual eight-piece ensemble -- augmented at Yoshi's by Mike Whitman on baritone sax -- and feeds the percussive polyrhythmic battles with his congas (as well as a turn on the timbales on "Guaripumpe"). On the "Latin soul" agenda, there is a dead-on faithful rendition of "Watermelon Man," with a few histrionic things at the close, and a reprise of Eddie Harris' "Cold Duck Time," which soon turns into "Listen Here" and "Everything I Play Gonh Be Funky." There are also some spirited passings of the bop baton from trumpeter Sal Cracchiolo to trombonist Francisco Torres to tenor saxophonist Scott Martin and back again on "Ican." It's OK, but not Sanchez' best. ~ Richard S. Ginell, All Music Guide
Poncho Sanchez

Born: Oct 30, 1951 in Laredo, TX
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Afro-Cuban Jazz, Changui, Cuban Jazz, Latin Jazz
Ever since he led his first record date in 1982, Poncho Sanchez has headed one of the most popular and influential Latin jazz bands around. The youngest of 11 children, Sanchez taught himself to play guitar, flute, drums, and timbales before settling on the congas. After a period playing with local bands, he joined Cal Tjader's band in 1975 and was an important part of Tjader's pacesetting group until his idol's death in 1982. Shortly after he formed his own band and has since recorded on a regular basis for Concord Picante. Sanchez's group is very active, playing in clubs, concerts, and festivals on a regular basis.
