INTRO: 

As a teenager, Poncho Sanchez used to hang out in his 
mother's garage, playing a conga drum for hours on end. He 
had stacks of Tito Puente records ... mixed in with his share 
of James Brown. Now Sanchez is a Grammy-winning 
bandleader with 26 albums to his credit. He's often 
described as the "keeper of the flame" of Latin Jazz. 

This is how he describes his music ... in his own words ...

TAPE IN:  "Hi, this is Poncho Sanchez ..."

Latin Jazz, man."
