The young saxophonist and composer John Martin seems to have emerged fully formed from the jazz course at Middlesex University (also the birthplace of Led Bib) where he studied composition with Nikki Iles and Eddie Parker. Martin recently impressed as a member of pianist and composer Laura Cole’s Metamorphic group (their album “The Rock Between is reviewed elsewhere on this site) but “Dawning” is even better, a remarkably mature collection of original material, immaculately recorded and superbly played by a very youthful quartet.
