Antonio Sanchez
Master Series by Hudson Music DVD

An intimate drum Masterclass with modern master Antonio Sanchez !

In an intimate master-class setting, Antonio Sanchez displays his extraordinary musical skills in the context of challenging songs and incredible solo segments. Performing both on his smaller traditional jazz set, and the larger kit that he uses with the Pat Metheny Group, he presents musical concepts, exercises, and suggestions for developing musicianship that apply to serious drum students of all levels.

Playing selections from the Pat Metheny Group, along with compositions by Chick Corea and Antonio himself, Sanchez covers technical, musical, and philosophical points that apply to drummers of all styles. Topics include: Practicing, hand technique, motivic development, left-foot clavé, playing stylistically, developing independence, finding your own voice,
soloing ideas, odd-meter clavé, recording with Pat Metheny, professionalism, and the importance of having the right attitude. Antonio takes these advanced concepts and clearly explains his personal approach to each.

Special Features:
• eBook with transcriptions of exercises, grooves, and phrases
• A complete optional Spanish voiceover

Running Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Hi Everybody.

I'm in Japan right now about to play with one of my all time heroes: Chick Corea. We're doing a small tour in Tokyo with John Patitucci because Chick just released a Trio record that we did back in April. The name of the record is "Dr. Joe" because it's a tribute to Joe Henderson. Unfortunately it's only available in Japan for now but hopefully it will be everywhere shortly.
It's an amazing honor playing with Chick. I learn so much from him every time we play.

Will try to write more after the concerts.

Best,

Antonio.
