My guest is four time Grammy Award winning drummer, composer and educator, Antonio Sanchez. Antonio is probably best known for his long association with The Pat Metheny Group, but his list of credits is truly staggering. In 2014, Antonio scored the music for the Academy Award winning film “Birdman” which earned him nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, and BAFTA Award for Best Film Music. He won the Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Score, and Satellite Award for Best Original Score. He's released more than a dozen recordings as a leader or co-leader. One of his latest projects is Apple TV’s “The Studio” which he scored entirely. So come along for the ride and please subscribe! And please visit my website! https://livefrommydrumroom.com.

Rest in Peace, Glyn.
