“Avec Daniel John Martin la constellation Manouche s’agrandit… et d’une étoile de première grandeur !”           Michel Bedin

“A unique and charismatic performer and one of the most sought-after violinists of his generation!”      Le Quecumbar (Londres)

“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)

“Daniel John Martin and his Gypsy Jazz Quartet delivering a masterclass and education in the genre – I’d hate to be the act that followed afterwards! Sublime doesn’t do it credit – travel if you must to catch this.” Jonathan Cuff London January ’23
