The 24-year-old British trumpeter professes to be a fan of David Bowie and Kanye West, but he doesn’t let us hear anything about that on his debut album. Instead, he prefers to go back in time with his quintet to the era of post-bop and, of course, to Miles Davis’ classic mid-sixties formation. And Alistair Martin does this very convincingly, signalling not only an astonishing virtuosity on his instrument, but also as a talent who links history with a contemporary conception.
