The Old Black Cat Jazz Club: Daniel John Martin

Daniel John Martin, often abreviated to DJM, is celebrated as a leading figure in the Gypsy jazz genre, a movement inspired by Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli’s work in the 1930s. His style is rooted in this rich tradition, yet infused with his own approach, blending classical technique with vibrant improvisational jazz. This unique blend of classical and jazz elements has become DJM’s hallmark, making him a standout performer in Paris who continues to inspire emerging musicians globally.

DJM will be accompanied on this short hop around the UK by an ensemble led by Mick Shoulder (Swing Manouche).A one off intimate gig that will be a real treat for jazz fans here in Sunderland that will sell quickly. Grab your seat in The Vaux Room at The Ship Isis while you can.

The Old Black Cat Jazz Club meet regularly in Sunderland for relaxed performances in beautiful surroundings. All are welcome.

Show starts 7:30pm sharp
