UBUNTU MUSIC 2025<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

”One hears Martin\u2019s re-imaginings in his arrangements of jazz standards; Butterfly, Donna Lee, 26-2 and Equinox. He has uncovered hidden elements buried in this music that have been patiently waiting for his discovery. And it was worth the wait! His original suspenseful and extremely gorgeous compositions allow the listener an intimate view of Martin\u2019s multi-faceted opinion of just how music should sound.” Liner notes by Tim Hagans<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horizon features four of Martin\u2019s original compositions as well as arrangements of key pieces by John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Abdullah Ibrahim and Charlie Parker, all dedicated and specially written or arranged for a soloist\/member of the band. With this recording, Martin delves even deeper into the vision of creating freedom for the band’s members, much like a piano trio or quartet, but all within the framework that personifies a big band. \u201cIt’s a significant challenge but also a privilege to write for some of the members I’ve not only toured with for almost 20 years but also consider close friends,\u201d says Martin. \u201cI aim to create a musical framework where the soloist feels completely liberated while also allowing myself to communicate and challenge through the large ensemble. I now realise that all the music I compose for larger ensembles aims to provide a sense of personal involvement for everyone and allows space for each individual’s unique personality.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
