It was in their smaller, more intimate Joe Henderson Lab, and Antonio’s personality really came through. He seemed totally relaxed and joked with the audience (of about 80) about when to applaud, etc. They ran through The Meridian Suite - very awesome intimate experience!

In my conversation with them about other drummers when I mention Antonio they all hold him in high regard. Another incredible young drummer who blows me away is Rudy Royston.

They did the entire Meridian Suite and it was absolutely tremendous. Sanchez has to be one of the finest proponents on the kit. Simply so much great musical ideas and execution this musician possesses, as we all know here on this forum.

I also hear a good bit of "Kin"’s influence, for instance, one bass solo hearkens back to Ben’s playing on "On Day One." I think Antonio’s trio record, "Three Times Three," is pretty great too.
