1	Latin Soul (1999) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Recorded live at two leading California nightspots, Yoshi's in Oakland and the Latin-specializing Conga Room in Los Angeles (the actual sound in the Conga Room is never as good as that on this CD), Concord no doubt hoped for an exceptionally hot live session from this tireless defender of the Latin jazz tradition. What they got was merely a decent ... see all copies from $5.53! new only from $6.94!
2	Afro-Cuban Fantasy (Cabildo) (1998) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Our resident Latin jazz classicist comes up with a good concept -- evoking the memories of non-Latino Afro-Cuban music pioneers Stan Kenton, Shorty Rogers and Cal Tjader -- and better still, delivers great music unfettered by any hint of routine. The Sanchez octet does so by simply being itself, without trying to imitate its subjects (if anything, ... see all copies from $6.49! new only from $10.29!
3	Latin Spirits (2001) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Much marketing ado will no doubt be made over the wonderful dream-come-true nature of the legendary conguero's pairing with jazz piano great Chick Corea, in a setting which brings the latter back to his roots playing with Mongo Santamaria in the '60s. And the two Corea-touched tracks are definite highlights. He wrote the jumpy, heavy-chorded jam ... see all copies from $16.81! new only from $16.81!
4	Jazz Moods: A Great Day of Jazz (2000) more music like this by Various Artists A three-CD collection of the jazz compilations that hit the top of the charts and became the favorite background sounds of new jazz fans everywhere, this set has compilations for each part of a jazz lover's day. Stacia Proefrock, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.84! new only from $5.84!
5	Outa Sight (2003) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez The legendary conguero may be known as one of the modern kings of all jazz that's Latin, but he's also an old-school soul junkie at heart, having grown up in southern California in the '60s; while he was learning to play tropical Latin music professionally, his radio was full of classic Stax and Motown. Increasingly aware that classic R&B songs ... see all copies from $12.06! new only from $16.81!
6	Soul of the Conga (2000) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Soul of the Conga is the great follow-up release to Poncho Sanchez's Grammy Award winning CD Latin Soul, and it is every bit as soulful and special. As his 20th CD as a bandleader, (his 18th for Concord Picante), the release also celebrates the 20th anniversary of the master conguero's group. The conguero and his three-horn, three-percussion octet ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $10.29!
7	Cambios (1990) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez 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 ... see all copies from $5.96! new only from $10.44!
8	Raise Your Hand (2007) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Conguero Poncho Sanchez grew up on salsa and Latin jazz, but his musical influences also included large doses of Stax and Muscle Shoals R&B. So for his latest album, he decided to pay tribute to both traditions: the result is a strange but seriously fun jumble of soul, salsa, son and jazz. Gratefully, he generally avoids trying to fuse them all ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $16.81!
9	The Colors of Latin Jazz: Sabroso! (2000) more music like this by Various Artists There may never be a setting as beautiful or a locale as ideal as a breathtaking ocean view complete with the sounds of beautiful Latin jazz floating over the ocean breeze. The fifth CD in the Colors of Latin Jazz series sets the scene for a collection of contemporary, smooth jazz peppered with Latin rhythms and percussion. This CD is a musical ... see all copies from $7.99! new only from $7.99!
10	Latino! Latino! (1997) more music like this by Various Artists A New Yorker dedicated to promoting multiculturalism, Dan Storper opened the small Latin-oriented craft and clothing store Putumayo in Manhattan's Soho section before going on to found and head his label, Putumayo World Music. Putumayo had released over 22 albums (everything from reggae to Celtic music to Afro-pop) by the time it turned the ... see all copies from $4.49!

(2000) more music like this by Various Artists The first CD in the Colors of Latin Jazz series spotlights awe-inspiring performances by vibraphone virtuosos Dave Samuels, Joe Locke, Gary Burton, Cal Tjader, and Terry Gibbs that take you to a place only the most legendary Latin jazz artists dare to go on songs like "Mambo Diablo" and "Jordu," both featuring the show-stopping percussion of the ... see all copies from $8.56! new only from $8.56!
12 view cover	The Colors of Latin Jazz: From Samba to Bomba! (2000) more music like this by Various Artists As the fourth release in the Colors of Latin Jazz series, From Samba to Bomba! will appeal to the Latin jazz connoisseur because of its exciting array of compositions that feature the diverse rhythms of a variety of Latin cultures. From the Brazilian samba to the Puerto Rican bomba -- and a number of styles in between, including the ChaChaCha, ... see all copies from $9.43! new only from $9.43!
13 view cover	Freedom Sound (1997) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Latin jazz's hardest-working conguero invites two of the original Jazz Crusaders, tenor Wilton Felder and trombonist Wayne Henderson, on board to graft their sound and a few old JC numbers onto his classic salsa ensemble. The results are not entirely lodged in Sanchez's camp -- the title track leans toward a 6/8 jazz feeling, and "MJ's Funk" is a ... see all copies from $4.84! new only from $10.29!
14 view cover	Do It! (2005) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Journeyman Latin jazz bandleader Poncho Sanchez delivers another stellar and high-energy release with Do It!

Interestingly, rather than revisit one of ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $17.13!
15 view cover	Conga Blue (1995) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez 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 ... see all copies from $10.29! new only from $10.29!
16 view cover	A Night at Kimball's East (1990) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez This concert performance (which is also available on video) features spirited Latin-jazz from Poncho Sanchez's octet.

18 view cover	The Concord Jazz Heritage Series (1982) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez With one or two exceptions, conga player Poncho Sanchez's entire recording career as a leader has been documented by Concord.

19 view cover	Papa Gato (1986) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Percussionist Poncho Sanchez has long led one of the top Latin jazz groups, succeeding his former boss, the late Cal Tjader. On this enjoyable release, Sanchez features plenty of solos from Justo Almario (on alto, tenor, and flute), trumpeter Sal Cracchiolo, and trombonist Art Velasco, and the three percussionists have many opportunities to romp. ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
20 view cover	Latin Jazz: The Essential Album (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Although the title is a bit overambitious, Manteca's Latin Jazz: The Essential Album is still a decent collection of music. Yes, important artists like Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Palmieri, and Machito are missing, but there are cuts from Flora Purim, Mongo Santamaria, and Tito Puente (in fact, two from the latter) that make up for that absence. ... see all copies from $22.95! new only from $22.95!
21 view cover	Conga Caliente: La Familia/Fuerte (2002) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Releasing two Poncho Sanchez titles under Conga Caliente in 2002 seems like a perfect way to mark the 20th year of the percussionist's relationship with Concord Picante.

Although a large group of players fills each band, an infectious ... see all copies from $16.90! new only from $16.90!
22 view cover	Baila Mi Gente: Salsa! (1982) more music like this by Poncho Sanchez Although instrumental Latin jazz is Poncho Sanchez's forte, the L.A. percussionist usually included one or two salsa tunes with vocals on his Concord albums of the 1980s and 1990s. Focusing primarily on Sanchez's salsa recordings, this excellent 1996 compilation spans 1982-1995 and draws on eight of his Concord albums. Sanchez is best known for ... see all copies from $7.90! new only from $10.80!
23 view cover	Fiesta Picante: The Latin Jazz Party Collection (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Reaching all the way back to the beginnings of Concord Picante in 1979, which was originally created for the pleasure of the late Cal Tjader, Fiesta Picante traces nearly the entire history of the label in what amounts to a greatest-hits collection with a non-stop groove. While the music constantly looks backwards, with few progressive strains, ... see all copies from $8.68! new only from $8.68!
24 view cover	The Colors of Latin Jazz: Cubop! (2000) more music like this by Various Artists This CD features songs that merge blistering bebop with red-hot Afro-Cuban rhythms and what you hear is one of the most exciting styles of Latin jazz -- Cubop.

25 view cover	National Geographic: Destination Cuba (2001) more music like this by Various Artists One of many, many albums that attempt to cover all the bases of Cuban music in a single disc. As with all the others as well, the single disc by itself can never really hope to explore the vast diversity of sound available on the island. Nonetheless, National Geographic: Destination Cuba is one of them that makes a good attempt at such a goal. The ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $10.76!
