Alistair Martin
hard bop post-bop contemporary jazz
Influences: Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Freddie Hubbard
Alistair Martin plays trumpet and leads a quintet with saxophonist Tom Smith through a tribute to Miles Davis, moving from cool-era melodic restraint to the harder, more electric textures of Davis's later work. He is one of the more visible voices on the contemporary British jazz scene, and this show marks the centenary of Davis's birth. The line-up includes Misha Mullov-Abbado on double bass, Miranda Radford on drums and Olly Chalk on piano.
