) Martins 4Martins 4The Guitar Label Catalogue Number: P3M012
Imagine travelling from New Orleans to Seville, via the Middle East, throughout the English countryside and on to the jazz clubs of Europe and America and you’ll have some notion of what this remarkable new album will offer. In the company of Martins4 you can experience unique performances from four of our greatest living acoustic guitarists. The finest exponent of traditional English folk music, indeed one of its most passionate champions, Martin Carthy’s distinctive and influential style over a 40 year career has earnt him worldwide respect, affection and recognition. Adalucian Juan Martin has toured the world many times, both for concert performances and master classes and has also won international acclaim by exploring the development of Flamenco through its gypsy and Arabic roots with an electrifying and smouldering intensity. Meanwhile, described as ‘one of the finest finger pickers and slide guitarists of our time’ and ‘the essential connection between Mississippi slide guitar and the English ballad’’, Martin Simpson has the rare gift of skilfully augmenting simple songs with both subtlety and astonishing fretboard harmonics. First coming to prominence in the 70s through his collaborations with violinist Stephane Grappelli, Martin Taylor has long been established as a player of international repute. ‘No matter how complex or daring, Taylor’s interpretation…is something to behold’. He has been voted Best Guitarist in seven British Jazz Awards. The members of this extraordinary ensemble offer an inviting, accessible and rare blend of traditional folk, blues, flamenco and jazz. As well as this diverse and satisfying album, Martins4 also undertake an extensive tour of the UK from March 2005. 1. La Pasion Del Lamento 2. Kwame 3. Jasper Songbird 4. Glass Of Water 5.
