Cuban percussionist Poncho Sanchez is a musical storyteller. And, as leader of the most popular Latin jazz group in the world today, it's his congas and seasoned ensemble that do the talking. Live in concert or on recordings, they spin vivacious tales that pay homage to the glories of a half-century tradition that was born when Afro-Cuban rhythms merged with bebop. An evening with Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band is, in the words of Jazz Review, “an experience that those in attendance will not soon forget.” |
