Free Music Review: Poncho Does it Again
Hit: 5 Stars
Afro-Cuban Fantasy is another great collection of Music by Poncho Sanchez. Poncho combines his great sound with the sultry voice of Dianne Reeves. Ms Reeves is featured on 3 Songs, "Morning, Darn that Dream, I Remember Spring". All three songs display Ms Reeves talent, and style. In fact her style reminds me of another talented pop and Jazz singer named Frank Sinatra. Plus, The instrumentals in this body of work are top drawer. If you like the combination of Jazz with a Latin twist. This is the album for you.
Afro-Cuban Fantasy Poster
Noted conguero Poncho Sanchez is back on the scene with another infectious album that extended the legacy of his tenure with Cal Tjader's Orchestra. As the titled suggests, Afro-Cuban Fantasy is a celebration of the various dance rhythms that are now known as Latin jazz. A dynamic player with a penchant for muscular rhythm, Sanchez's arrangements exude the calmer energy that's more associated with West-coast jazz as opposed to the ecstatic frenzy of the New York and Miami scene. The plush orchestra of burnished brass sails elegantly over the rumbling rhythms of congas, timbales, and percussion, resulting in an swooning, enticing affair that simmers more than it sizzles. The regal Dianne Reeves contributes some authoritative vocals on several tracks. She ups the ante of excitement on Clare Fisher's "Morning" and seduces wonderfully on the sensuous, "Darn That Dream." As for the instrumentals, Sanchez keenly demonstrates his versatility as he moves from the party-flavored cha-cha on "Subway Harry" to the sensational samba of "Sambroso." This is a delightful CD that sparkles with the danceable reverie of New York's Palladium Ballroom. --John MurphInternational Music CDs
