JAZZ BAKERY "MOVABLE FEAST" ANTONIO SANCHEZ QUARTET
SATURDAY, MARCH 27TH - 8:00 AND 9:30PM at MUSICIANS INSTITUTE
1655 N. MCCADDEN PLACE, HOLLYWOOD, CA 90028 (in Hollywood)

Antonio Sanchez - drums - Three time Grammy Award winner Sanchez, born in Mexico City, is considered by many writers, musicians and an increasing number of followers as one of the most prominent, versatile and sought after drummers of his generation.

Antonio has been the only drummer to hold both the chair for the Pat Metheny Group and the Pat Metheny Trio with Christian McBride. Other notable ensambles include: Chick Corea, Michael Brecker, Charlie Haden, Gary Burton and Toots Thielmans. And regularly collaborates with some of the most prominent names of the newer generation: Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, Dee Dee Bridgewater, John Patitucci, Dianne Reeves, Avishai Cohen and Paquito D'Rivera to name a few. His albums have received rave reviews from jazz publications around the world.

Donny McCaslin - sax - After attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston, McCaslin toured with Gary Burton’s quintet, for four years, moved to New York worked with bassist Eddie Gomez then joined the group Steps Ahead and received a Grammy nomination for “Best Jazz Instrumental Solo”. To quote Jazz Times:"McCaslin’s a versatile player who moves easily between inside and outside musical zones… There’s a fluidity and grace to his playing even when he’s pushing at envelopes.”

Scott Colley - bass - Forceful lines, impeccable articulation, assured sense of swing and sensitive support have made Scott Colley the bassist of choice for such legends as Herbie Hancock and Jim Hall. Colley's remarkably empathetic skills, strong melodic penchant and improvisational daring have served him well in groups led by colleagues Chris Potter, Adam Rogers and Brian Blade. But it is as a composer and bandleader in his own right that Colley has flourished in recent years, as evidenced by a string of consistently impressive recordings.

Dave Binney - sax - Acclaimed as a considerable and highly individual compositional talent, saxophonist David Binney is one of the most prolific young jazz musicians on the scene today. Winning praise from critics and colleagues alike, David was recently singled out by Jazz Times as one of a handful of "young players who have created an alternative jazzscene... all of whom are playing adventurous, original music."
