"Latin Soul" (07/26/2004) Jazz Instrument Sanchez, Poncho, Concord JazzPersonnel: Poncho Sanchez (vocals, congas, timbales, percussion); Scott Martin (alto, tenor & baritone saxophones, flute); Mike Whitman (baritone saxophone); Sal Cracchiolo (trumpet, flugelhorn); Francisco Torres (trombone); David Torres (piano); Tony Banda (bass, shekere, background vocals); Ramon Banda (timbales, shekere). Producers: John Burk, Poncho Sanchez, David Torres. Recorded live at The Conga Room, Los Angeles, California; Yoshi's Nightspot, Oakland, California between April and July 1999. Includes liner notes by Remo D. Belli & Edward James Olmos. LATIN SOUL won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Performance. LATIN SOUL won the 2001 Billboard Latin Award for Latin Jazz Album of the Year. Pancho Sanchez strides onto the stage with the same kind of confidence as band leaders like Juan Formell (Van Van, Cuba,) but Pancho is older, wiser and more philosophical than many of his Latin counterparts. This album consists of live recordings taken from several venues, and it makes you wonder just why so many other groups have had to revert to studio sessions to polish up their sound. Not Pancho. Spectacular conga and brass lines converge on the explosive opener, "El Conguero." This awesome intro is followed by a mean and clean combination of solo and chorus acts by the various metallic members of the band. Down the line, one is reminded of Carlos Santana when Pancho pays tribute to the great Mongo Santamaria in his version of Mongo's all-powerful "Besame Mama." And just when you think that he can't possibly do any better, Pancho drums up an explosive "Mama Guela." In a choral maneuver, the Conguero of Congueros transforms the title return from "Mama" into "Pancho," and the exchange could not be more fitting; pretenders to the throne, you have been warned: this album is truly the stuff of kings.

"McCoy Tyner and the Latin All-Stars" (08/15/2006) Jazz Instrument Tyner, McCoy, Telarc Jazz ZonePersonnel: McCoy Tyner (piano); Gary Bartz (saxophone); Claudio Roditi (trumpet, flugelhorn); Steve Turre (trombone, shells); Dave Valentin (flute); Avery Sharpe (bass); Ignacio Berroa (drums); Johnny Almendra (timbales); Giovanni Hidalgo (percussion). Recorded at Avatar Studios, Studio A, New York, New York on July 29 & 30, 1998. Includes liner notes by Larry Blumenfeld. Legendary pianist Tyner made his name as a hard-bopper without equal, but as his solo career has shown, he's always been forward-looking enough to keep progressing and exploring new avenues of musical expression. This album is no exception, as Tyner teams up with Latin jazz hotshots like flautist Dave Valentin and percussionists Johny Almendra and Giovanni Hidalgo for a program that mixes the pianist's original compositions with tunes by the likes of Ahmad Jamal and Kenny Dorham, all given a Latin jazz feel. While some of the musicians are best known for distinctly non-Latin efforts (Gary Bartz, Avery Sharpe, Steve Turre), they fall right into the irresistible lilt of the arrangements' Latin syncopation. Naturally, Tyner is the star of the show, as his widescreen comping and bold, barnstorming solos take center stage, but there's plenty of first class blowing from Bartz, Turre and trumpeter Claudio Roditi.
