		Poncho's gone his own way and explored his own route, but this was something he had to do and I, for one, am glad he did.

		The more Poncho listened that evening, the more he realized that the band and those songs sounded damn good, and then hit him - he could play all of the great tunes Spalding’s band was playing as cha-chas, mambos and other Latin styles, combining his own musical voice with the older music that he loves.
		That was over a quarter of a century ago, and Sanchez has spent the majority of that time working hard to spread the gospel of his music to the people, a mission that he’s no doubt achieved, though it didn’t hit him until just recently.
		Sanchez and his orchestra still tour regularly and make appearances at festivals, like Chico State’s upcoming World Music Festival, where Sanchez is looking forward to playing to a college crowd.

	NIPP: Artists: Poncho Sanchez (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Longtime fans know that next to the bedrock style of Latin jazz he inherited from Tito Puente, Cal Tjader and Mongo Santamaria, the sound that has had the greatest influence on Poncho Sanchez is the funky, danceable brand of R&B and soul music that was the rage when he was a teenager in the 1960s.
		Joining Poncho for the track are trombonist Fred Wesley and saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis from the old James Brown band, who lend their R&B-steeped sound to this as well as four other tunes.
		Of course, Poncho is always thinking of the next recording session and where he wants to take his music.

	Poncho Sanchez : Latin Spirits - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		He wrote the jumpy, heavy-chorded jam title track, which finds him doing call and response with feisty horns as Sanchez pitter patters fancifully in the background; the piano improvisations between these interactions are characteristically mind-boggling, as Corea switches off from bebop to hardcore Latin ivory sweeps.
		The fun part of being a percussionist is surrounding yourself with brilliant soloists, and Sanchez picks a true winner in saxman Scott Martin, whose rich baritone drives "Next Exit." "Going Back to New Orleans" is all party blues with shouting voices and a Dr.
		Tucked deep into the disc are two other can't-miss spots on the itinerary: the festive Manhattan-styled jaunt "Tito in the City" (an obvious tribute to the mastery of Tito Puente) and the funky, struttin' "Early in the Morning," which recalls Louis Jordan's Calypso jive circa the mid-'40s (also featuring Spalding on lead vocals).

		West Coast percussionist Poncho Sanchez's 15th album for Concord is a tribute to its special guest, Mongo Santamaria.
		As his solos on "Happy Now" and "Bésame Mama" indicate, he knows that the power of rhythm is a matter not just of speed and force, but of finesse and color.
		Sanchez himself has absorbed his mentor's wisdom; he favors carefully paced patterns of cleanly articulated detail played with a hard iron-and-mahogany tone.

		Soul Of The Conga is Poncho Sanchez's 20th album as a leader, and he continues to forge new paths in his approach to Latin jazz.
		Sanchez definitely takes a pan-Latin approach to the music, drawing on influences from Cuba, Brazil, his own Mexican heritage and beyond.
		Poncho throws in yet another twist with the appearance of Joey DeFrancesco on the Hammond B-3.

	CD Review of Poncho Sanchez - Instant Party on Concord @ jazzreview.com
		After 22 years of recording activity, he has a lot of recordings to choose from, and the challenge is, it would seem, to narrow down all of his recordings into 12 representative tracks.
		Herbie Hancock’s “Watermelon Man,” one of his early hits, proves once again, in Sanchez’s arrangement that it actually is more amenable to Latin clavé, and shouts and off-the-beat interjections and soulful solo work, than it is to jazz’s feeling of four.
		Poncho Sanchez fits perfectly into Concord’s concept of a party CD.
