My appreciation for Latin Jazz, especially the West Coast style, starts with and branches out from two people: Cal Tjader, vibraphonist, composer, arranger and Poncho Sanchez, master conguero, arranger, composer and vocalist. Cal Tjader helped introduce Latin Jazz to a broader audience utilizing the compositions of old master like Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo, Charlie Parker and others restructured with Latin stylings. Poncho Sanchez with his appreciation for the old masters and his own innovations has taken it to another level. What he has done for Latin jazz, in his performances as a percussionist and bandleader is reflected in his Grammy Lifetime Achievement award. The story of how Poncho Sanchez was picked to be in Cal Tjaders band is as fascinating as the musical collaboration between Tjader and Poncho. Sanchez played for Cal Tjader from 1975 until his death in Manila, 1982.

He remembered going to Cuatro Milpas and El Porvenir in Logan. Hey Conguero-Poncho Sanchez; A Big Brown Paper Shopping Bag and Green Stamps.

According to Poncho, he was playing in a neighborhood R&B band at a place called the Latin American Press Club in Pico Rivera. Between sets, an older White guy, approaches him and says “Hey man you are pretty good on congas,” thanks replied Poncho and didn’t give it another thought. A week later the same guy comes back to hear the band and at the break he again approaches Poncho, this time he says, “Listen I’m a friend of Cal Tjader and I am going to tell him about you.” Sure and my uncle is Babe Ruth, thought Poncho to himself. He did, for some reason remember the old white guy’s name; it was “Ernie Steels”. A couple of months later he hears that Cal Tjader is playing at a club in Redondo Beach.
