For more than three decades, conguero Poncho Sanchez has stirred up a fiery stew of straightahead jazz, gritty soul music, and infectious melodies and rhythms from a variety of Latin American and South American sources. Throughout his career, Sanchez has held aloft the torch lit by such innovators as Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente, and Cal Tjader, embraced by each of those icons and entrusted to carry forward the traditions of Latin Jazz.

Influences and Homages

Sanchez's influences are numerous, and his catalogue is rich with homages to several of his mentors — Santamaria, Puente, and Tjader among them. But alongside those Latin pioneers, among the more prominent figures that inform his music is the iconic saxophonist, John Coltrane.

Latest Album: Trane's Delight

On his latest album, Trane's Delight, Sanchez pays tribute to the late jazz legend with Latin-tinged reimaginings of Coltrane classics as well as new pieces composed in honor of the tenor titan. Trane's Delight continues Sanchez's remarkable 37-year relationship with Concord, a rich legacy that has now yielded 27 albums.
