Freedom Sound features jazz legends Wayne Henderson and Wilton Felder of The Jazz Crusaders. Poncho has been listening to the Jazz Crusaders since his high school days when the only way he could see them perform was by 'looking through a window and listening from the outside' of a nightclub in Hermosa Beach, California. This recording is sure to be loved by all Poncho Sanchez fans and discriminating jazz aficionados alike. It features funky jazz classics like MJ's Funk and Scratch redone with Poncho's latin edge. Préstame Tu Corazon, a much requested Salsa tune at many of Poncho's concerts, is featured as well.
