ANTONIO SANCHEZ
"Transcending the role of a mere time-keeper, Sanchez infuses his music with nuance and texture. Factor in the additional roles of composer and bandleader and it is clear that he is the complete package."
- James Lamperetta, The Saratogian
"Antonio Sanchez' Migration overflows with a bracing jazz music that reinvigorates conventions and renews traditions. It bodes well for this extraordinary drummer's future as a bandleader and composer of note."
- Doug Collette, All About Jazz
