Jazz at the Lobero presents PONCHO SANCHEZ AND HIS LATIN JAZZ BAND Friday, October 12 at 8 PM Santa Barbara, CA, September 10, 2018 – Jazz at the Lobero is thrilled to welcome Poncho Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band to the Lobero on Friday, October 12 at 8 PM. For more than three decades as both a leader and a sideman, conguero Poncho Sanchez has stirred up a fiery stew of straight-ahead jazz, gritty soul music, and infectious melodies and rhythms from a variety of Latin American and South American sources. His influences are numerous, but among the more prominent figures that inform his music are two of the primary architects of Latin jazz – conga drummer and composer Chano Pozo and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Poncho Sanchez was born into a large Mexican-American family in Texas, (rumor has it that his 13-year old mother fled to the U.S. after hiding under the bed as revolutionary Pancho Villa stormed her village), but grew up in the Los Angeles area, where he was weaned on a broad range of Latin and non-Latin popular music. Inspired by the conga playing of Cuban great Mongo Santamaria, he honed his skills as a percussionist and broke into the limelight at the age of 23 when he joined vibraphonist Cal Tjader’s famed Latin jazz ensemble in 1975. Poncho performed with him until Tjader’s untimely death in 1982. A year later, he began his unprecedented 23-year relationship with Concord Records, which has produced two-dozen recordings, a GRAMMY® Award and several GRAMMY® nominations. Tickets for Poncho Sanchez And His Latin Jazz Band are on sale now at Lobero.org. Section A tickets are $49, section B $39 and a limited number of VIP tickets are available for $105. Prices include facility fees. VIP tickets include premier seating and entry into the pre-performance receptions. A limited number of series tickets are still available and include priority seating, savings on single ticket prices, and advance updates on upcoming shows.

Jazz at the Lobero tiene el gran placer de darle la bienvenida a Poncho Sánchez y su Latin Jazz Band al Lobero el viernes 12 de octubre a las 8 PM. A lo largo de tres décadas en su rol de líder y de acompañante, el conguero Poncho Sánchez ha despertado un conjuro apasionando (?) de jazz puro y genuino, música soul cruda y melodías y ritmos contagiosos que provienen de una variedad de fuentes latinoamericanas y sudamericanas. Sus influencias son numerosas, pero entre las figuras más destacadas que le dan vida su música se encuentran dos de los principales arquitectos del jazz latino: el baterista y compositor Chano Pozo y el trompetista Dizzy Gillespie. Poncho Sánchez nació en una gran familia mexicano-estadounidense en Texas (se rumorea que su madre de 13 años huyó a los Estados Unidos después de esconderse debajo de la cama cuando el revolucionario Pancho Villa irrumpió en su pueblo), pero creció en la zona de Los Ángeles, donde fue influenciado por una gran variedad de música popular latina y no latina. Inspirado por la conga del gran conguero cubano Mongo Santamaria, perfeccionó sus habilidades como percusionista y saltó a la fama a los 23 años cuando se unió al famoso conjunto de jazz latino del vibrafonista Cal Tjader en 1975. Poncho tocó con él hasta la muerte prematura de Tjader en 1982. Un año más tarde, comenzó su trayectoria de 23 años sin precedentes con Concord Records, que ha producido dos docenas de grabaciones, un premio GRAMMY® Award y varias nominaciones al GRAMMY®. Las entradas para Poncho Sánchez y su Latin Jazz Band ya están a la venta en Lobero.org. Las entradas de la Sección A cuestan $49, las de la sección B cuestan $39 y un número limitado de entradas VIP están disponibles por $105. Los precios incluyen tarifas de acceso al predio. Las entradas VIP incluyen acceso a los principales asientos e ingreso a la/las recepción previa a la función.
