Album Review
Conga player Poncho Sanchez has been one of the leaders in Latin jazz for a decade. This outstanding studio recording delivers the excitement with the addition of special guest Mongo Santamaria on "Watermelon Man" and several originals. Great solos by trumpeter Stan "Be Bop" Martin and baritone saxophonist Scott Martin add spice to the lively percussion of Sanchez and his group.
Customer Reviews
Almost Pure Latin
Pancho Sanchez has quickly become one of my favorites - not only great music but also extremely well executed recordings. I have also had the pleasure of seeing him and his group in a very small club and they are even more fun in person than recorded! This album is almost "pure latin", with Watermelon Man being the obvious Sanchez take on a jazz classic. If you are looking for latin jazz, this is a good one to add to your collection. Side note: I have also purchased this as a "dual CD/SACD" disk, and this is a great example of the fidelity of SACD technology.
The Consumat Congero
Pancho Sanchez and his ver tight ensamble shine on this smooth, hip and always very harmonic mix of balads, dance tunes and perfect groove background tracks. For those beginning their Pancho collection, this 1996 album is a great way to start.
<<<OK>>>>
This album is ok. I really like the song watermelon man. It is a good song to like play at a barbecue or somthin like that.
