Marta Sanchez

• 2XLP 180 GRAM EDITION

• colored vinyl and gatefold artwork

Marta Sanchez's creative voice is strikingly original - circling rhythms, elaborate forms and criss-crossing counterpoint distinguishes her sonic signature on the crowded New York contemporary music scene.

Following three critically acclaimed quintet releases, the Madrid-born pianist-composer presents 'saam (Spanish American Art Museum)' on Whirlwind Recordings, an album driven by emotional candour and boundary-pushing compositions. A talented cast realises her knotty, technical writing - frontline partners Alex Lore and Roman Filiu meet Sanchez, Rashaan Carter and Allan Mednard on backline duties.
