People From Doncaster
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

The Meridian Suite
''The Meridian Suite'' is an album by jazz drummer Antonio Sánchez which was released by CAM Jazz in 2015. Reception The ''PopMatters'' review by John Garrett stated "Sánchez doesn't use the ''Meridian Suite'' to show off much fancy stickwork. The real meat and power of Migration's sound comes from Blake playing overtop Escreet's Fender Rhodes electric piano. Everyone involved is pulling their weight, yes, but there's something about the teamwork of Blake and Escreet that helps place Meridian Suite on the top of the heap of modern fusion".Garrett, JPopMatters Review July 7, 2015 In ''The Irish Times'', Cormac Larkin noted "Sanchez has through- composed this five-part suite that roams freely over a wide musical plain, referencing everything from hard-swinging Coltrane pedal-point to funked-out Weather Report fusion. More of this, please".Larkin, CIrish Times Review July 9, 2015 In ''Modern Drummer'' Terry Branam said "''The Meridian Suite'' takes the listener on a spectacular jou ...

New Life (Antonio Sánchez Album)
''New Life'' is an album by drummer Antonio Sánchez which was released on the CAM Jazz label in 2013. Reception The Allmusic review stated "Antonio Sanchez's third solo album is a forward-thinking collection of jazz originals that features an all-star group of musicians ... Sanchez's music often walks the line between layered, atmospheric contemporary jazz and more aggressive, avant-garde-leaning group improvisation". In ''The Irish Times'', Cormac Larkin noted "the Mexican’s third album as leader reveals a more thoughtful side. There is still enough pyrotechnics to burn down the average house, but the former classical pianist’s tunes are far more than just excuses to display his chops, and the group he has assembled to play them features some of the most expressive, forward-thinking musicians on the New York scene".Larkin, CIrish Times Review March 15, 2013 On ''All About Jazz'', Phil Barnes observed "Sanchez takes his cues from the spiritual jazz of the late 1960s and earl ...
