John Martin's Hidden Notes at Jazz At The Lescar at Jazz At The Lescar

About

John Martin has visited us before with Laura Cole's wonderful Metamorphic band. With this band he presents a unique, beautiful and emotive sound world, based on a personal exploration of his chosen instrument, the tenor saxophone. Resulting from this is a highly original set of varied and lyrical compositions; rhythmic, melodic, and affecting. The band is first class, featuring some of the finest talents on the London jazz scene, Ralph Wyld (Vibraphone), Rob Updegraff (Guitar), Tim Fairhall (Double bass) and Tim Giles (Drums).
