Down Beat (p.p.72) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Sanchez puts vintage soul on the bill, with breezy spins through a pair of vintage Stax-Volt gems that open and close the disc."
JazzTimes (p.108) - "[T]he old hits are still worthy of another spin, beginning with the album's title track, which features Floyd, Jones and Cropper joyously evoking the sound of Stax Records while collaborating with Sanchez's Latin-jazz ensemble."
The American-born percussionist Poncho Sanchez is one of the leading congueros in the world, and has mastered a dizzying number of styles and genres, including salsa, mambo, funk, and various gradations of jazz. He got his start in the 1960s, playing with vibraphonist Cal Tjader's outfit, and lending his zesty playing to countless albums, including those by Latin heavy-hitters Tito Puente and Mongo Santamaria. Sanchez eventually started his own brass-heavy group, Poncho Sanchez Latin Jazz Band, whose recordings have garnered consistent critical praise and a Grammy in 2000.
