Maddie Martin EP Launch

Mentored by the great Claire Martin (who knows a thing or two about singers) Maddie Martin is an exciting new voice on the UK jazz scene.

Rapidly becoming known for her distinctive, “old soul”, tone and gift for storytelling Maddie brings a strong technical foundation to her approach, along with an affection for a wide range of styles including soul, blues, the Great American Songbook and contemporary jazz.Tonight, Maddie will be launching her debut EP, fittingly named “Part One”.

Recorded with five-time Grammy-nominated producer James McMillan and co-produced by Claire Martin, the material is a combination of high energy arrangements of swinging standards, 70’s soul and original compositions written by trumpet and flugelhorn player Gabriel Taylor.

The rest of the band features Columbus Sandor-piano, Guy Dempsey-bass, Kai MacRae-drums, Joe Evans-trombone and Zac Taylor Schindler-tenor sax."Maddie Martin is a star in the making.

As soon as I heard her, I knew she was special.

She has a warmth and beauty in her voice." Claire Martin OBE
