Marta Sanchez | Jazz Musician

Portraits for an artist’s album cover, social media, and press materials

A dynamic collaboration with this Jazz Musician yielded a striking album cover and a range of portraits that pair beautifully with the Marta’s musical brilliance. She is an artist with so many glorious colors….

Via The New York Times Review of Marta’s album: SAAM, which featured portraits from this session:
When Marta Sánchez’s mother died unexpectedly in late 2020, the pianist was at a loss. But Sánchez knew, almost instinctively, where she could process her grief: at the piano, pen and paper in hand, sounding out new music for her quintet.

In the decade since she moved to New York from Madrid, the quintet has been Sánchez’s main creative outlet. And since the release of its strong 2015 debut, “Partenika,” it has made itself known as one of the most consistently satisfying bands in contemporary jazz — largely thanks to the well-ordered complexity and openhearted energy of Sánchez’s tunes, which blur the divide between lead melody and accompaniment, steady pulse and unruly drift. —Giovanni Russonello
