Freedom Sound is an album by Poncho Sanchez, released in 1997.[3] The trombonist Wayne Henderson and the saxophonist Wilton Felder, both of the Jazz Crusaders, appear on the album.[4]
The Washington Post thought that "Sanchez's percussion-heavy band applies leisurely, syncopated arrangements to such Jazz Crusader chestnuts as 'Scratch', 'MJ's Funk', 'Latin Bit' and 'Aleluia', both with and without the special guests."[5] The Philadelphia Daily News called the album "a careful mix of Latin jazz, salsa, standard ballads and old Jazz Crusader tunes tweaked with Latin rhythms."[6]
AllMusic wrote that "the title track leans toward a 6/8 jazz feeling, and 'MJ's Funk' is a more or less straight-ahead blues, both butting horns with Sanchez's domineering congas."[2]
