An exciting new voice on the UK jazz scene introduced to us by Claire Martin OBE – herself recognised as one of the world's top jazz singers – Maddie Martin is known for her distinctive "old soul" tone and gift for storytelling. A graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, she brings a strong technical foundation to her approach, along with an affection for a wide range of styles including soul, blues, the Great American Songbook and contemporary jazz. Her influences, from Nancy Wilson, Karen Carpenter and Ella Fitzgerald to Carmen McRae and Barbra Streisand exemplify that same aesthetic.
Tonight, Maddie will be launching her debut EP, fittingly named "Part One". Recorded with five-time Grammy-nominated producer James McMillan (Liane Carroll) and co-produced by Claire Martin, the material is a combination of high energy arrangements of swinging standards, 70's soul and original compositions written by trumpet and flugelhorn player Gabriel Taylor. The rest of the band features Columbus Sandor-piano, Guy Dempsey-bass, Kai MacRae-drums, Joe Evans-trombone and Zac Taylor Schindler-tenor sax. We're excited to welcome this up-and-coming vocalist to the 606 as part of her first tour! "Maddie Martin is the real thing! An authentic young jazz singer with tone and time for days." James McMillan; "Her voice and phrasing are the best we've heard for some time, and she has won accolades from top professionals." Swanage Jazz Festival 2025; "...a star in the making. As soon as I heard her, I knew she was special. She has a warmth and beauty in her voice." Claire Martin OBE
