Pianist and composer Marta Sánchez, originally from Madrid, leads her acclaimed quintet with saxophonists Alex LoRe and John Ellis, bassist Harish Raghavan, and drummer JK Kim. Sánchez has gained significant global recognition and international audience with her innovative and original music. In addition to leading her own groups, she has worked with David Murray, Sara Serpa, Oscar Noriega, and Tim Berne, among many others. The Wall Street Journal reports, “Ms. Sánchez’s music is accessible and lovely, yet built on stark contrasts.” Downbeat adds, “As in her writing, Sanchez’s soloing favors lyricism, warmth and a strong sense of storytelling.”
