Ponce is a charismatic conga player as hot as any. There are six pieces here, five written by Ponce, played by mostly nine- to ten-piece bands with one quintet cut. Ponce gets help from notables Yomo Toro, Nicky Marrero, Steve Turre, Isidro Bobadilla, Lew Soloff, and Vernon Reid. ~ Michael G. Nastos, Rovi
