Club credibility comes from years of inspiration and hard work, and Phil Martin, the creative captain of the Jazzinvaders knows exactly how to get there. From his musical vision, the Jazzinvaders have already reached and touched so many musical lovers globally, from those who dare to go beyond the everyday club scenes, to those who look beyond the spectrum of jazz aficionados. Today, the Jazzinvaders are spreading their message even stronger.
In his studio, Phil Martin (also the band's drummer) created the basic tracks, while adding all kinds of input from the band, from themes and arrangements, to solos, lyrics and structures. With the debut album "Up & Out" instantly turned into a club hit, the expectations are high, but raising the bar is in the nature of the beast, and the collective chemistry works really well. The Jazzinvaders' spirit has grown tremendously since they have been touring all over the world for the past two years. "Up & Out" already showed that Phil Martin could bring out the best in his team, but "Blow" is above all a group effort. Most of the members are top notch, multi-awarded jazz-soloists, but with the Jazzinvaders they deliver their strongest work to date.
On their second album "Blow" the Jazzinvaders obtain new territory, but only to ignite their appetite. They smoothened their suits, but not their music. The Jazzinvaders' horns sound more fierce than before. Or mellow, if that is what the music asks for. Alto-sax man Rolf Delfos hits you right in the face with his virtuosity, Jan van Duikeren is easily one of Europe's best trumpet players, combining super chops with extremely swinging solos, melodical mastery and stunning compositions. Tom Beek's classy and uberfunky tenor-sax sound is one of the most sought after in Holland, singer Linda Bloemhard adds a special flavor, not only in words and sound, but through her mere presence. The subtle groove and harmonies of pianist Erwin Hoorweg not only tickle your imagination, but also your dancing shoes. And the heart of the group in many respects is drummer Phil Martin, with his superb dedication to sound, groove and feel.
"Blow" features some extraordinary guest appearances too: Dutch singer Frank Montis on "Day by Day", English guitar player Eddie Roberts (of The New Mastersounds) on "Art Mbekie", and Italian singer Stefania DiPierro (of Nicola Conte's band) on "Canção Pequena".
