“Cubano Be! Cubano Bop!”—a sizzling tribute to the legacy of the original conga king, Chano Pozo, and his famed collaborator, jazz great Dizzy Gillespie—is the love-child of Grammy Award-winning musicians Poncho Sanchez and Terence Blanchard. Conga legend Sanchez and trumpet star Blanchard lead the 11-member Poncho Sanchez Latin Jazz Band in a performance that recreates the bristling energy of the masters’ historic 1947 Carnegie Hall concert for an unforgettable evening of Afro-Cuban standards and fresh new collaborations.
