Doug Martin Quartet
The Doug Martin Quartet has recently released an exciting new CD. It’s music with heart that’ll feed your soul. Aptly named Odyssey, this CD of original music by Doug Martin chronicles his recent journey in Europe. From raucous hard-swinging bop to expressive ballads, these tunes will move you. The music is sometimes joyous, occasionally sad, angry or playful.
The quartet features some of the best-known jazz musicians in and around Ottawa. There’s Jeff Asselin on drums, Tom Denison on bass, Ian Card and Yves Laroche on keyboards, and Doug Martin on saxophone.
The group has played every major jazz venue in the Ottawa region and has appeared numerous times at the Ottawa International Jazz Festival, as well as festivals in Cornwall, Almonte, Carleton Place and Perth.
Tracks from the CD have had considerable airplay on local radio in Ottawa, as well as several appearances on JazzFM 91 in Toronto and Phonic FM in Exeter, UK & CBC's Espace Musique..
