Poncho Sanchez – Conga Blue 2003[DST SACD ISO 百度云]

专辑简介：
Ever since he led his first record date in 1982, Poncho Sanchez has headed one of the most popular and influential Latin jazz bands around. The youngest of 11 children, Sanchez taught himself to play guitar, flute, drums, and timbales before settling on the congas. After a period playing with local bands, he joined Cal Tjaders band in 1975 and was an important part of Tjaders pacesetting group until his idols death in 1982. Shortly after he formed his own band and has since recorded on a regular basis for Concord Picante. Sanchezs group is very active, playing in clubs, concerts, and festivals on a regular basis. The conga drum chair was always the position of honor in Cal Tjader’s Latin-jazz band. In 1975, California’s Poncho Sanchez took over the chair and held it until Tjader died in 1982. Since then, Sanchez has emerged as one of the top congueros and bandleaders in the genre, because he has synthesized the styles of all his predecessors into a sound that is more fluid than frenetic, more melodic than manic. No one influenced him more than Santamaria, and Sanchez’s fifteenth album as a leader reunites the mentor and protégé on half of the 10 tracks. The horn and piano parts are respectable if not special, but the real action is in the percussion section, where student and teacher remind each other of the many ways to chop up a measure of music. –Geoffrey Himes –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
