Antonio Sanchez - New Life

2013 CD release.

"New Life" conclusively establishes Sanchez as a complete artist; a musician unlike any other behind cymbals and drums, he is a brilliant composer and organizer of sounds. In his music, in a more or less evident manner, references appear and disappear to some of the musicians who have influenced his artistic career—among them Pat Metheny, in whose group Sanchez has played a big part. But there is much more: there's an attention to detail, a love for the immeasurable sense of melody and a unique ability to not put your instrument in the first row, but think of it as one of the voices at the service of the whole.
