Antonio Sánchez
Antonio Sánchez is a Mexican drummer.
Mexican-born Antonio Sánchez rose to the top of the jazz league at the beginning of the millennium alongside Pat Metheny, Chick Corea and Michael Brecker, and soon began to create his own "musical universe".
He made his debut with Migration in 2007. "I didn't want people to think it was a drummer's album. I thought in terms of music, I didn’t think about how many solos I had and whether I did enough. I wanted the music to be very melodic, accessible and with lots of really good interplay," he said at the time of his debut album, which featured guest appearances by Pat Metheny and Chick Corea.
The mantra that it's more important to serve the whole than to draw attention to oneself is a mantra Sánchez holds to this day. That this is the right path is proven, among other things, by the four Grammys and the deep appreciation he has won in the world of cinema for his daring soundtrack to the film Birdman (2014), directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu.
