|   |  You don't have to go back too far to find the musical inspiration  |   |
|   |  in Zeke Martin's past. His father, Stu Martin, accompanied some    |   |
|   |  of jazz's great talents, including Herbie Hancock, Charlies        |   |
|   |  Mingus, Quincy Jones, and John McLaughlin. But the                 |   |
|   |  Brussels-born/Boston-bred offspring quickly began to make a name   |   |
|   |  for himself, culminating in his band's newest record, U4RIA.       |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  Boston jazz fans might know Martin through his work in either the  |   |
|   |  Ed Jones Quartet or the Ray Brown Quartet. Regardless, the fact    |   |
|   |  is, he's been playing with Boston's most respected jazz            |   |
|   |  musicians-- including Andre Ward, Andre Hayward, Bronson Arroyo,   |   |
|   |  PJ Adamson, Valerie Stevens, Frank Wilkins, Herman Johnson, Bill   |   |
|   |  Lowe, and more--since the mid-'90s.                                |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  In recent years, Zeke was written about in Drum! magazine and by   |   |
|   |  acclaimed writer Scott Yanow in LA Jazz Scene. Zeke has also       |   |
|   |  received endorsements with Creation drums, Evans drumheads, Murat  |   |
|   |  Diril cymbals, and Vic Firth sticks.                               |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  The Zeke Martin Project's third full-length outing, U4RIA          |   |
|   |  includes standards mainly, but it's Martin's propensity for fresh  |   |
|   |  arrangements that turns heads. As a drummer with a diverse         |   |
|   |  background, including rock, fusion, funk, and traditional jazz,    |   |
|   |  Martin understands the pivotal role a great drummer can play in a  |   |
|   |  combo, and carefully weaves percussive styles of various colors    |   |
|   |  throughout U4RIA. The result is sizzling spectrum of R&B, funk,    |   |
|   |  soul, jazz and even a little pop.                                  |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  In order to weave such a tapestry, Martin had to unleash his       |   |
|   |  band. Saxman Sean Berry blows tasty lines throughout the record,   |   |
|   |  but especially on the opening epic, ôFreedom Jazz Dance,ö and a    |   |
|   |  hot rendition of Mongo Santamaria's ôAfro Blue.ö                   |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  Keyboardist Yusaku Yoshimura also asserts himself all across       |   |
|   |  U4RIA, spotlighted effectively on an ambient take on Coltrane's    |   |
|   |  ôNaimaö and Stanley Turrentine's tangy öSugar.ö Bassist Rozhan     |   |
|   |  Razman makes good use of his rhythm stick on every track here,     |   |
|   |  boasting a jazzy, funky, spicy style that bolsters the bedrock of  |   |
|   |  all the material, especially the closing ôTeen Town,ö a            |   |
|   |  composition written, appropriately, by bassist Jaco Pastorius.     |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  Recorded at Bluetone Studio in Somerville, U4RIA boasts beastly    |   |
|   |  tone and just enough sparkle to illuminate the exceptional         |   |
|   |  arrangements and polished musicianship. Zeke Martin may have       |   |
|   |  royal bloodlines in jazz, and he certainly respects the sounds of  |   |
|   |  jazz's past, but he and ZMP are intent on moving music forward to  |   |
|   |  places it rarely goes, on grooves you rarely hear.                 |   |

|   |  Recorded at Bluetone Studio in Somerville, U4RIA boasts beastly    |   |
|   |  tone and just enough sparkle to illuminate the exceptional         |   |
|   |  arrangements and polished musicianship. Zeke Martin may have       |   |
|   |  royal bloodlines in jazz, and he certainly respects the sounds of  |   |
|   |  jazz's past, but he and ZMP are intent on moving music forward to  |   |
|   |  places it rarely goes, on grooves you rarely hear.                 |   |
