“Compelling chiaroscuro canvases that are beautiful, mysterious, and restlessly morphing”

Spanish pianist and composer Marta Sánchez has quietly become of the most compelling artists in global jazz. And not always quietly –The New York Timesincluded her debut album as leader among its Best Albums of the Year across genres, placing her in the company of Kendrick Lamar and Adele. Her recordings consistently rank among the best jazz albums of the year inDownbeatand other key jazz media, and she tours regularly as a member of the David Murray Quartet in addition to dates with her trio and quintet. She joins us with her brilliant saxophone-forward quintet – a global group of outstanding musicians from Spain, France, Cuba, Canada, and Israel. Sánchez’s music is accessible and melody-driven, yet reflective of a strikingly original compositional voice drawing inspiration from medieval music, Debussy, pop, and everything in between. Experience it.
