Antonio Sanchez

Migration gives notice that Antonio Sanchez is ready to lead his own ensembles. The core quartet here contains two of the best tenor saxophonists in the world under 40, and one of the most complete bassists in jazz; plus guest appearances by Chick Corea and Pat Metheny.

For his recording debut as a leader, Antonio Sanchez has created a work daring yet meticulous in concept and inspired in execution. He had very high-level help. Chris Potter, David Sanchez, and Scott Colley give deeply of themselves to this project, and the sound achieved by engineer Joe Ferla renders every electric moment of this acoustic album. Sanchez says, 'I had to have him for my first record, because nobody gets my drum sound like Joe.'
