REVIEW: Antonio Sánchez, 'Three Times Three' and 'The Meridian Suite' (CAM Jazz/Sunnyside Records)

After being robbed of an Oscar nomination by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for his relentless, drums-only soundtrack that helped Alejandro González Iñárritu's 'Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)' win big on Oscar night, drummer/composer/bandleader Antonio Sánchez, 43, has rebounded dramatically with two new jazz releases that stretch boundaries in multiple directions. (Apparently, according to the Academy, Sanchez was disqualified from Oscar contention for his inclusion of "pre-existing classical music.")
