Out Of Sight (SACD-1031-6) Raised with one foot firmly planted in Latin Jazz and Afro-Cuban music and the other foot planted in soul and R&B, Poncho Sanchez has long enthralled listeners, dancers and party goers with his innately soulful brand of Latin Jazz. With Out of Sight, the master conguero/bandleader digs even deeper into his soul and R&B roots, delivering his most potent and energizing Latin-Jazz-meets-Soul concoction to date. Complementing Poncho's ultra-tight band is an array of guests that reads like a who's who of R&B and soul--Ray Charles, Sam Moore, (of Sam & Dave fame), Billy Preston, and Pee Wee Ellis & Fred Westley (of the James Brown horns). In homage to Poncho's mentor, the late, great Mongo Santamaria, Afro-Cuban music legend Francisco Aguabella also sits in with some earthy, deeply grooving bata drum playing, presented in pristine hybrid SACD sound (Replete with a 5.1 Surround Sound mix), Poncho's Out Of Sight is the real deal from the living master of soulful Latin Jazz.
