What an amazing drum performance ! He is one of those once in a lifetime musicians. The little things he does with dynamics and body mechanics are so intricate and subtle if you have ever played the kit this is truly art at the highest level . I listen to this daily for inspiration and I’m always amazed. Beyond what should be capable on the instrument . Instinct fully his response to what the other great musicians are playing is so interesting it shows what an incredible talent he is as well as a monster listener with such great response choices to what he’s hearing and anticipating. A master !
Pat Metheny in an interview I heard several years ago: "I didn't know a drummer like Antonio had been born yet." PERFECT! Nor did I, Pat; but sure as hell, he walks amongst us... and he's forever changed the spectrum of jazz drumming with some bold, vibrant colors. What an artist!!
Whew! That intro by Antonio was breathtaking,the sounds created in the drums tell you he studied thoroughly,he literally created melodies, awesome work by Antonio,and complemented by solo's by the alto player and the pianist really nice improvisation and interplay and to top it off the tension drive and release was there!

Glad you enjoyed the video, Leonardo. Good tip on giving the crowd a heads up about the sponsorship messaging between songs. You might consider subscribing if you're interested in seeing more video from this show. I'll likely post another song down the road.
Thank you for this excellent video. Like so many others, I became acquainted with Sanchez through his now long time association with Pat Metheny, both with PMG, and the Pat Metheny Trio. He is incredibly exciting to watch, and I daresay he holds his own against some of the greatest jazz drummers around, including Steve Gadd and Jack DeJohnette. I love his fluid style of playing. Again, thanks for this great video.
David Binney is such a lyrical alto sax player, and this is awesome stuff by incredible musicians. Antonio Sanchez is becoming one of favorite younger drummers, along with Eric Harland and Dafnis Prieto. Of older drummers, Roy Haynes is still a deity, and Jack Dejohnette is great as ever, and Tain is my favorite of the last twenty years, but the young guys, and even younger-Chris Dave, Jamire Williams, Tyshawn Sorey, Mark Giuliana, are coming up fast. What a great period for great drummers!
Antonio is a true modern master. Gretap playing by all!. By the way, that ride cymbal is really kaput! ( Still sounds fantastic) And what IS the sound engineer doing with the effects?...
dogmart After his clinic, he took time to meet and talk with people...He was nothing but kind and generous to me and actually signed my Modern Drummer with him on the cover!:)

Antonio's Quartet is really extraordinary...!!!! They are playing today one of the best Jazz worldwide... John Escreet piano solo is wonderful...!!!!
Glad you liked it! Antonio is incredible!

Art Blakey reincarnated with a doctorate in percussion.
Antonio Sanchez: Drums;John Escreet: Piano;Matt Brewer: Bass Dave Binney: Alto sax
He does everything so well, but watching his hands/technique is mesmerizing.
That was the best drumming I have ever heard. Spectacular
This performance is exquisite. I have to declare myself fan after listening to the Birdman soundtrack :,)
Thanks for your note. Does Antonio play on the soundtrack?
WGBH Music Yup, a pretty significant chunk of it, actually.
WGBH Music it was just a guy with the same name...
Judi Obeid

Ahah ! Same here !!
Best jazz Ive heard in years. SPAC Jazzfest

One of the best drum solos ever. Exemplifies the best of what a drum solo should be within a certain context.

That sax sound is like it's being transmitted from the moon in a nostalgia special... sounds terrific :)

Saw Sanchez with the Unity Band in Lowell. Hope to catch them again this year.
I love how no part of the drum is wasted.
I'm not really a specialist, but the way the drums are mic'ed in this is freaking good, they kind of surround my head.
I went to his show last night in Rotterdam...GREAT
Wow ! Fantastic !

Antonio es un baterista muy melódico y musical. Que orgullo que sea Mexicano :')
David Binney plays some good music! And I like his dark tone.
Antonio is a strong, fearless musician. Generational? Certainly has the pedigree.

Now you understand why Pat Metheny says Sanchez is the greatest drummer in the world today.
do agree
Wow. This is incredible stuff right here. The whole band
totally a maestro in the drums .that technic is his hands. and the whole band exelente
Mesmerizing.
You know you're badass when you START the show with a drum solo.
I like the pianist's t-shirt. Fitting mantra for a musician.

#Davidbinney tears it up on #altosax with #anotoniosanchez on #drums
Música magistral!!
how exactly is this possible?
haha... seriously. Amazing talent.
LINDO!!!
They are fuckin’ jazz machine!
The tempo is perfect...
amazing
just, awesone :D
The intro reminds me so much of Bonham's Moby Dick solo from RAH 70'.
somebody knows the name of his ride?
It's an old Istanbul K. Zildjian made in Turkey like 50 years ago. It has a huge chunk taken out from a repair. It looks like a 24" cymbal.
what a beauty
I was about to ask about the ride cymbal but you did it first. What a nice cymbal !!
Just the way I like
Epic.
David Binney is an amazing saxophonist.
Good~!
un principio espectacular nunca bisto
that saxophonist! awesome
super
eyy antonio tremendo¡¡¡¡¡¡
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Where can I find the orginal music for this piece?
Whether Dave B is fronting or supporting a song matters little, he is a terrific horn player.
His right hand is actually an alien.
Funny...AND TRUE!...I met Antonio at a clinic at The Blue Note NYC in '05...Shook his hand...DEFINITELY ALIEN!!!:)
What was he like? I know folks who have met him at clinics and say that he's arrogant/rude. He kind of gives off that vibe in interviews.
dogmart After his clinic, he took time to meet and talk with people...He was nothing but kind and generous to me and actually signed my Modern Drummer with him on the cover!:)
Very cool to hear!
