Daniel John Martin's Violin Takes Hot Jazz to NEW Heights

Daniel John Martin
Duration: 02:01
1,138 views

Daniel John Martin figures as one of the most prominent hot jazz violinists of the French and international Jazz scene. Born in Congleton, not far from Liverpool, his youth was marked by a long sojourn in Africa. He was one of Didier Lockwood’s first students who stated that he stands amongst the top notch players of his generation. He co-founded the 11tet de Violons Jazz, with which they toured and recorded together. A long time later, he turned towards jazz-rock and fusion, and he has since been recognized as a leading figure in the « Parisian gypsy jazz” revival. He is in the process of finalising a recording of his youth compositions alongside guitar hero Robben Ford, pianist Olivier Hutman, Henri Dorina on bass and Francis Arnaud on drums. They are accompanied by a string quartet led by Line Kruse. All the compositions and arrangements are signed by DJM. The record should be available in the spring of 2025. Be it in one of his ensembles playing his compositions or alongside other great soloists, sharing his passion for jazz standards, you will enjoy a great moment of music! “Daniel John Martin and his Gypsy Jazz Quartet delivered a masterclass and education in the genre – I’d hate to be an act that followed afterwards! Sublime doesn’t do it credit – travel if you must to catch this.” Jonathan Cuff London January ’23 “To describe DJM as a virtuoso performer is like calling Lionel Messi a half-decent footballer. It is all but impossible to convey to those who’ve yet to hear the Paris-based violinist at a gig just how good he is” Be Bop Spoken Here (Newcastle) “A unique and charismatic performer and one of the most sought-after violinists of his generation!” Le Quecumbar Daniel John Martin (violin), Cameron Jones (guitar), Adam Russo (guitar), Tom Flenady (bass)

On a Clear Day

New York Voices
Duration: 05:48
2,961 views

New York Voices may lay claim to title of “tightest harmonies from an established a cappella group”. Since 1987, they have brought inspiration and joy to each of their arrangements but have announced they will retire around the end of 2026. With the standard “On a Clear Day,” several of their hallmark techniques stand out: Starting at [0:50], Kim Nazarian then Peter Eldridge sing the lyrics molto rubato, far from the beat. The full quartet launches close harmonies at [1:53] that would be challenging to hit for most vocalists. A surprise happens at [2:20]—a change in meter sub-division from triplets to straight quarter notes. Genius arranger and tenor Darmon Meader shows off his additional talent playing saxophone at [3:02]—by making his scat solo phrase like a horn. [3:55] The group segues into a big band-esque contrapuntal break… bringing us full circle to what made them noteworthy in the first place!

Upbeat Mood

Music Soup
Duration: 5:12
2,522 views

“Dimopoulous makes no effort to withhold his admiration for hard-bop guitarists such as Grant Green, pre-Verve Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell. He is a technical master, deftly constructing his solos forays. Karlafti is an obvious acolyte of the great Blue Note organists Jimmy Smith and Big John Patton et al. With Joey DeFrancesco sadly gone, Karlafti (along with Tony Monaco) is a Hammond talent worthy of note. Upbeat Mood is just that.”
