Do It! -- the latest in a long series of Poncho Sanchez releases that began in 1982 for Concord Picante -- is distinct, even by Sanchez's high standards. The album features, on two tracks, Tower of Power an iconic group that has become a high-octane symbol of the funk era of the 1970s. Another two tracks boast the presence of an equally legendary musician, South Africa's Hugh Masekela. Over the years, Sanchez has handpicked guest artists who have add a special role in shaping his growth as a musician, from trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and saxophonist Eddie Harris, to Latin jazz patriarch Tito Puente, conga titan Mongo Santamaria, and Ray Charles. The guests invited to participate on Do It! have been among Sanchez's favorites for decades. "I'm just doing the things I grew up with, and that I respect and really love", he adds, "It's part of my life." Do It! Promo: 56K modem | DSL/Cable+ |
