Martin Shaw Quintet
“Shaw......was comfortable and consistently impressive....with voluminous technical brilliance, he remains one of Europe’s top trumpeters”
Jazz Times
Martin Shaw is widely regarded as one of the finest jazz trumpet players in Europe. A well established and hugely respected studio and touring musician, his powerful yet wonderfully fluent playing has been heard with the likes of Sting, Jamiroquai, Natalie Cole, John Dankworth and Cleo Laine, and he is a first call for numerous high-profile musicians both in the UK and abroad. A featured soloist with the BBC Big Band his melodic improvisations and warm, fluid sound are universally admired. The music is beautiful, straight-ahead jazz performed by some of the best musicians around and a joy to hear. And watch out for Martin’s Special Guest, saxophonist Dave O’Higgins.
