 (1 Customer Review)
Percussionist Poncho Sanchez has long led one of the top Latin jazz groups, succeeding his former boss, the late Cal Tjader. On this enjoyable release, Sanchez features plenty of solos from Justo Almario (on alto, tenor, and flute), trumpeter Sal Cracchiolo, and trombonist Art Velasco, and the three percussionists have many opportunities to romp. The jazz content is pretty high with such songs as "Jumpin' With Symphony Sid," "Senor Blues," and "Manteca" alternating with group originals. A fine introduction to the accessible Latin jazz of Poncho Sanchez. ~ Scott Yanow

Miles Davis' restless curiosity would never allow him to look back, and as a result, he sought out new blood and fresh challenges over the course of six decades of innovation. When modernists such as Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane began stretching the parameters of form and improvisation in the early '60s, Davis was leery, even hostile at first.
But as the saying goes, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em--and by 1964 Miles had assembled his ...

This is a particularly special Poncho Sanchez recording, for the conguero's popular Latin jazz band is joined by the great tenor saxophonist Eddie Harris on four songs. Harris is so strong on his "Cold Duck Time" and Art Farmer's "Happy Blues," "Rapture," and "Afro Blue" that it is unfortunate that he is not on the other seven selections (which include Cedar Walton's "Ugetsu" and Gerry Mulligan's "Five Brothers") as well. At the time, Sanchez' ...
| | Poncho Sanchez El Mejor CD (1992)
Papa Gato songs
$9.85
A 1992 session by percussionist Poncho Sanchez and his seven-piece band (three horns, two more percussionists, piano, and bass), El Mejor hews closer to the jazz side of the Latin jazz description. Songs like "Sueños," the bossa nova-tinged "El Jamaiquino," and the flute-driven "Angel" are relaxed, even mellow, and despite the three conga and timbales players, pianist and musical director David Torres drives the band throughout, making the overall sound closer to the likes of Cal Tjader than Tito Puente. The focus on slow to mid-tempo tunes, most of them with vocals (by Sanchez, bassist Tony Banda, and bongo player José Papo Rodríguez), gives El Mejor a different feel than ...

Papa Gato album

Given the glut of "String Quartet Tribute to So and So," "Electronic Tribute to Some Crappy Band," and "Pickin' on Whomever" "tributes," it's somewhat surprising that no one has tackled Pavement in a tribute album -- not until now, at any rate. And even more surprising is that it's not one of those aforementioned knockoffs; it's a heavyweight jazz session with James Carter, Cyrus Chestnut, and Reginald Veal, three of jazz's finest players on their respective instruments (rounded out by the talented Ali Jackson on drums). You may be asking, "what the hell are a bunch of jazzbos doing playing Pavement tunes?" The short answer, "making a great album." Remember, underneath their slacker image and loose, lo-fi aesthetic, Pavement's best tunes were memorable and melodic with interesting (though sometimes ramshackle) arrangements. Carter and Company play to those strengths as a unit, and Gold Sounds is an overwhelming success, not just as a tribute but as a jazz album. Chestnut's sparkling Fender Rhodes shines throughout, and Veal really shows his versatility on both electric and acoustic bass. James Carter is hands down one of the greatest reedmen alive: he can play it tender or can summon squalls ...

"SONGS THEIR MOTHERS SANG" CD...Songs seldom (if ever) heard nowadays, sensitively performed with an "ear" to AUTHENTICITY. The FLAVOR of the music and narratives are what set this album apart. That, and the fact that ONE man is doing it all! This charming CD brings the "one-man band" into the 21st Century. No longer a guy with a bass drum, cymbals strapped to his knees, and a harmonica stuck under his nose, the one-man band can now be a full orchestra, a Vaudeville or Ragtime band, a Gay 90s group, a dance band and chorus from the '20s...even the "Jax Nonpareil Marching Band" (click onto "Semper Fidelis" to see what a one-man band can really do, nowadays). Vocals are performed by the "Jax One-Man Trio". This is actually an album for ANYONE in the 65-70 yr. old range or older! In addition to bringing back fond memories, the CD is really a conversation piece as well!The 23 songs (nearly a full 50 minutes of music and narratives) on the album were hand-picked after over a thousand personal performances in care homes and at senior centers. This is THEIR music, absolutely GUARANTEED to bring smiles (and perhaps a tear or two). From the old Gay '90s and Vaudeville songs they sang with their parents as kids to the later "Bigger-Band"-type stuff ...
