New Life is an album by drummer Antonio Sánchez which was released on the CAM Jazz label in 2013.

Drummer/vocalist Antonio Sanchez’s third solo album is a forward-thinking collection of jazz originals that features an all-star group of musicians. Backing Sanchez here are saxophonists David Binney and Donny McCaslin, pianist/Fender Rhodes player John Escreet, and bassist Matt Brewer, as well as vocalist Thana Alexa. Sanchez’s music often walks the line between layered, atmospheric contemporary jazz and more aggressive, avant-garde-leaning group improvisation (https://goo.gl/Gfy93K).
