Since the release of its strong 2015 debut, “Partenika,”Marta Sanchez Quintet has made itself known as one of the most consistently satisfying bands in contemporary jazz -Giovanni Russonello-
Ms. Sánchez’s music is accessible and lovely, yet built on stark contrasts. One rhythm rubs against another. Multiple melodies coexist. Gentle passages get interrupted by sudden crashes-Larry Blumenfield
“Her compositions are lyrical and infectious and never overly mannered. They remind us that a great chamber-jazz composer can inject vitality into well-trodden influences”
— Downbeat
“The music Marta Sanchez writes gets intricate, but she also gets memorable effects using simple means.”
