Poncho Sanchez Ultimate Dance party

"Superb mixture of classic dance salsa and listening tunes. Bringing back the sounds of Tito Puente in medley adds to the albums promise and lure of keeping dancers on the dance floor."

Fun, good salsa jazz

"This is really a greatest hits album, with the highlights being "Watermelon Man" and "Soul Sauce". The songs are otherwise pretty evenly groovy, although I'm not as crazy about the songs with vocals. The Pancho Sanchez sound is competant jazz playing, salsa beat, and of course Pancho's congos. It's catchy and enjoyable, and you don't have to dance to it to like it."

An Instant Must-Have Favorite

"Until Recently, Bobby Shew's "Caliente" was my favorite Latin Jazz CD. The day I found "Ultimate Latin Dance Party" Bobby moved to second place. This is absolutely the best high energy Latin Jazz CD I've found so far. If you are a new comer, like myself, to this genre you will love this great collection. If you grew up on the Classic Latin Standards, you should find this to be a good collection worthy of a nod from the masters from your youth.



I prefer to mostly hear the instruments and Poncho's band does not dissapoint. Each instrument gets plenty of solo time and is played with such a fervor it'll set your speakers on fire. The vocals are not so overbearing, and to leave them out would be a betrayal to the birthplaces of the songs. It all comes together so nicely you'll be working up a sweat by the third song.



In the end, this collection is garaunteed to get your hands and feet tapping, and may lead to fits of jubilant, hip-swinging dancing. From beginning to end, every song is a treat with its own flavor. If you want to jump start your Latin Collection, Poncho has created the collection to do it."
