While a student at the prestigious La Escuela Libre de Musica in San Juan, he also took up soprano and alto saxophones as well as flute and clarinet. The bomba and plena rhythms of Puerto Rico, along with Cuban and Brazilian traditions, were among the biggest influences on Sanchez's early taste in music. Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon and John Coltrane had the greatest impact on his playing. Sanchez has also performed and recorded with Kenny Barron, Roy Haynes, Charlie Haden, Lalo Schifrin, Tom Harrell and had the opportunity to perform with the legendary drummer Elvin Jones. Whether with Gillespie, Palmieri, Haden and his other jazz mentors, or under his own name, Sanchez has continued to tour extensively, bringing his mix of mainstream jazz with Afro-Latin influences to delighted audiences throughout the globe.

From her early days leading a jazz trio in small Chicago nightclubs, Patricia Barber has drawn extravagant accolades. The praise came at first from local writers, impressed by her unique arrangements and coolly composed piano improvisations. As she added vocals to her repertoire, the praise poured in from national reviewers intoxicated by her recordings. And when (after years of international touring) she began to focus on her own compositions, kudos arrived from new fans, besotted by her lapidary lyrics and her often indelible imagery.

D.C.: ALGEBRA BLESSETT AT BLUES ALLEY

She will perform her new song "Nobody But You", the lead single from her forthcoming sophomore LP Recovery, dropping later this year. The project will follow her 2008 debut LP Purpose and 2011?s Dessert Before Dinner mixtape. While the project has been a bit slow to rise for some fans, the slight delay makes sense when you consider Algebra's touring schedule with the cast of the Rebirth musical. Algebra's return is buoyed by this piano-laden love jam whose sweet chords and lyricism counter the heavy bass of the track produced by Shannon Sanders. Call for cover/minimum information.
