Daniel John Martin figures as one of the most prominent 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 turned towards jazz-rock and fusion he has since been recognized as a leading figure in the « Parisian gypsy jazz” revival.
He is in the process of finalizing a recording of his youth compositions along-side 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!
