La Terza Via - The Third Side Of The Coin

Reviewed: 2018-03-01
Genre: Jazz
FCCs: none
Review: Still early in her career, drummer Sanchietti has proven herself a unique and versatile artist. Her compositions are engaging, her drumming gracefully nimble and her rapport with her band fluid. The result is a charismatic work that, even without breaking new ground, is soulful and satisfying. All originals except three.
