Music reviews of Migration
Music Review: A drummer's solo debut
Rating: 3 Stars
I have huge respect for Antonio Sanchez as a drummer. I've heard his work on a couple of projects, most notably the newer stuff from the Pat Metheny Group, and I've also seen him play live. He is truly incredible. I was very excited when I learned he was putting out a solo CD and I ordered it without hesitation.
The Chick Corea-penned opener "One For Antonio" is, as one would expect, a brilliant tune, as is the truly beautiful three-part Pat Metheny tune "Arena (Sand)", and even the Miles Davis classic "Solar" gets a decent workout here. The rest of the album however, comprises of the dry, drum, bass & sax trio stuff that just gives me migraines (although there are two saxes in this case, often playing together). David Sánchez and Chris Potter are rightly described on the inner-sleeve notes somewhere as "two of the best [current] tenor saxophonists in the world under 40" and I agree with that. They are two of my all-time favourites (and I also like bassist Scott Colley) but I just cannot get into what they've done here. It's all a lot of riffing over 'dum, dum, dum' basslines and little or no melodies that I could hear and grab a hold of, except maybe on "Challenge within", which I also quite like. It's also worth noting that Potter plays soprano saxophone on "Ballade", which is another good tune.
What I had no way of knowing until I had actually bought the CD was that Corea only plays on the one track he wrote and that Pat also only plays on two ("Arena" and "Solar"). If I had known this fact, I would probably have decided to leave the CD alone. I was hoping for an album of pure enjoyment. I didn't get it. Sanchez will no doubt go on to be a great bandleader in his own right but I'm more into people like Brian Blade and Peter Erskine at the moment.
But that's just me. Though I'm sure there are those who will be absolutely thrilled by what's on offer here, sadly, I'm not one of them. I was tempted to flog it on eBay but on consideration, decided to keep it due to the five tracks I've mentioned. Maybe the other three will grow on me in time.
I doubt it though.
