Martinez, Tomas

In Good Company

In Good Company marks the powerful debut of Argentine alto saxophonist Tomas Martinez on SteepleChase in June 2026. At just 26 Martinez brings a rich tone, agile bebop phrasing, and a deep command of jazz tradition. The album features two standout groups: a New York quartet with Michael Weiss, David Wong, and Kenny Washington, recorded at the legendary Van Gelder Studio, and a vibrant trio session from Buenos Aires with Paul Sikivie and Teo Perez. Mixing classics, bebop lines and originals, Martnez honors mentors like Charlie Parker, Barry Harris, and Charles McPherson while asserting a voice entirely his own. A fresh, swinging new presence on the international jazz scene.
