Double Cream est une gourmandise signée Daniel John Martin. Après « Urban Gypsy », projet dans lequel l’artiste avait entrepris de détourner codes et usages du swing manouche, il change une nouvelle fois le menu de sa carte. Si l’on connaissait depuis longtemps la précision des archets anglais, on connaissait moins leur éclectisme : Daniel John Martin puise son inspiration tant dans la pop anglaise sixties, que dans le jazz poetry d’un Amiri Baraka, le p-funk de Funkadelic et dans les mélopées bluesy des standards du label Blue Note. Un indéniable talent d’auteur compositeur, auquel se mêle la voluptueuse légèreté qu’apporte le jeu violonistique qui a fait sa solide réputation et une surprenante voix britannique, aigre douce façon sauce Worcestershire.   Augustin BONDOUX

Double Cream is a treat brought to you by Daniel John Martin. Having pushed the Gypsy swing style to its limits in his earlier published work ‘Urban Gypsy’ the artist now brings together all his experience and explores other styles in music. The precision of the English bow has been known for centuries yet DJM is arguably the first to introduce us to such eclecticism: The artist takes inspiration from 1960’s pop music, the jazz poetry of A Baraka, the P-Funk of Funkadelic and the bluesy chants of a Blue Note standard. DJM has an undeniable talent for writing and composing, combined with a voluptuous lightness brought by his renowned violin and a surprising sweet and sour, “typically British” voice.                      Augustin BONDOUX
