Poncho Sanchez congas, percussion, lead vocals; David Torres piano; Ramon Banda timbales, percussion; Tony Banda bass, background vocals; Jose "Papo" Rodriguez bongos, percussion, background vocals; Art Velasco trombone, background vocals; Gene Burkert tenor & alto saxophone, flute; Sal Cracchiolo trumpet, flugelhorn. With special guest: Freddie Hubbard trumpet, flugelhorn (tracks 1,4,9).
Poncho Sanchez's many recordings for Concord Picante, going back to 1982, are quite consistent. Boppish solos mix in with an emphasis on Latin percussion to create high-quality, accessible Latin jazz. This particular CD is another delightful and infectious effort highlighted by a group vocal on "El Sabroson," melodic improvisations and the three exciting percussionists. Trombonist Art Velasco (featured on "In a Sentimental Mood") is powerful on "Pique" and emerges as the top soloist of the program, along with pianist David Torres (who is the musical director). Trumpeter Freddie Hubbard makes three guest appearances, but these are disappointments -- he is average on "Yesterdays" and "Sky Dive" and cracks an excess of notes on "My Foolish Heart." Otherwise, this is a rewarding and typically infectious Poncho Sanchez set. ~Scott Yanow
