Angelica Sanchez: Jazz Keys and Nighttime Creatures

Click the play button to listen

Today, the Spotlight shines On pianist and composer Angelica Sanchez, who joined us late last year to discuss her latest record, Nighttime Creatures (Pyroclastic Records).

Since moving to New York from Arizona in 1994, Angelica has collaborated with artists including Wadada Leo Smith, Paul Motian, Richard Davis, Tim Berne, Ben Monder, and many others.

On Nighttime Creatures, Angelica leads a nonet through material she composed while living in a secluded cabin in Upstate New York. There, she was inspired by the sights, sounds, and, yes, creatures of the nocturnal environment surrounding her.

Angelica has been recognized with awards, grants, and fellowships that honor her creativity. She is also an assistant professor at Bard College.

And now, she is a guest of Spotlight On.
