Poncho Sanchez is a
Mexican-American conguero (conga player), Latin jazz band leader,
and salsa singer. In 2000,
Sanchez and his ensemble won the Grammy
Award for Best Latin Jazz Album for their work on the Concord Picante
album Latin Soul.
Sanchez has performed with artists Cal Tjader, Mongo
Santamaría, Hugh Masekela, Clare Fischer and Tower of Power,
among others. Sanchez has created the Olé Coltrane
program to exhibit the spiritual heat, passion, and earthy sensuality he finds
in Coltrane’s work.
James Carter is a powerhouse musician
and one of the most admired saxophonists of his generation, garnering plaudits
for his role in helping to propel jazz full tilt into the future over the past
twenty-five years. His music is fueled by deep respect and intimate knowledge of
the jazz tradition.
These artists will perform sections
from Olé Coltrane, a little known John Coltrane album. Recorded for
Atlantic, in between his Africa/Brass album sessions, the album was overlooked
by critics when Impulse heralded Coltrane’s debut album for their label.
Coltrane had taken to his Olé sessions with the same creativity that informed
his later albums. In fact, All About Jazz music website trumps that
recording as “one of the greatest transitional albums of all
times”.
