"A strong musician and a centering force in his ensemble, Sanchez's larger career role has been to help maintain and protect the Latin jazz tradition. "I'm proud," he says. "I'm an American. That's our music, man. That's our history. Let's celebrate it. Let's let everybody know it's ours.

"To me, it couldn't be better. You put the sophistication of the harmonies, the melodies of traditional jazz and you get the rhythm, the flavor, the dances of Latin music. You put those two things together, and that's Latin jazz, man, some of the best music in the world."
