Daniel John Martin is a world-renowned, Anglo-French violinist and vocalist. One of the most active and valued members of the Paris jazz scene, he was the long-time MC of gypsy jazz concerts and jams at “Aux Petits Joueurs”, where you can hear many of the best players in the world, who wander in casually to a play a few numbers.
Daniel has worked alongside many of the greats of the jazz manouche world, including Angelo Debarre, Romane, Adrien Moignard and Boulou Ferré.
