Poncho Sanchez's Latin Jazz Band Releases LIVE IN HOLLYWOOD Today, 9/25
by Robert Diamond - Sep 24, 2012


Given all the ups and downs the music industry has experienced in the past three decades, it's remarkable to find anyone who still retains a sense of allegiance or loyalty. Master Conguero, Band Leader and Latin Jazz Legend Poncho Sanchez is the exception. Thirty years ago, his close friend, multi-instrumentalist jazz icon Cal Tjader recommended he sign with Carl Jefferson's Concord Records. Tjader told him that Jefferson was looking for new talent and he highly recommended Sanchez. Jefferson gave Poncho a one record deal with his Concord Picante imprint, and the rest is Latin Jazz history. Thirty years and 26 albums later, Sanchez, whose Live in Hollywood recording is set for digital release today, September 25, 2012 on Concord Picante, is still with the label; even though he had plenty of opportunity to leave in the late '90s. (There will be a physical release October 30, 2012.)
