Chano y Dizzy!

is a collaborative studio album by conga player Poncho Sanchez and jazz trumpeter Terence Blanchard.

[4] Jeff Tamarkin in his review for JazzTimes wrote, "Using standard Latin orchestra instrumentation-congas, bongos, timbales and drums; saxophones, trumpet and trombone; piano, bass and vocals-Sanchez and Blanchard raid the Gillespie/Pozo catalog, recycle a couple of Blanchard’s favorites and cherry-pick the rest, including three from trombonist Francisco Torres, who co-produced this session with Sanchez.

We find two artists at ease in their exchange and shared vocabulary; here is Latin jazz in perfect form.

"[1] Howard Reich of the Chicago Tribune observed, "Blanchard's piercing top notes, high-velocity figurations and lyrical asides attested to his stature as trumpet virtuoso and creative improviser.

The carefully conceived orchestral scoring – meticulously played by Sanchez's octet – stood in striking contrast to Blanchard's freely improvised solo flights.
