On this celebratory project, the Latin jazz legend pays homage to the iconic jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. The album is being released in time for the late tenor titan's 93rd birthday on September 23. Known for Latin jazz, straightahead jazz, gritty soul music,and infectious melodies and rhythms, Sanchez's latest project has an uptempo vibe. Trane’s Delight, an 11-track album, features three Latin-tinged reimaginings of Coltrane's classics, and several original compositions, composed in honor of the tenor titan. Trane's Delight is a love letter from one musical pioneer to another. The extraordinary musical journey documents Sanchez's love affair with Coltrane that began at 11-years-old when he spotted Coltrane's self-titled 1962 blue-tinged album cover in the window
