He has continued his study of these disciplines with some of the most innovative pioneers
within this field, including David Friesen, Kei Akagi and Bertram Turetzky.
In 2006, Martin released his first CD as bandleader creating a record that is the

He wrote all of the compositions on 鈥�Poem鈥� and his arranging displays a unique ability to balance several musical concepts
within the framework of a single composition.
Beyond his professional teaching experiences, Martin has performed on several recordings
