He has rapidly been gaining critical recognition as one of the leaders of the new movement, creative-contemporary free world music, as he likes to call it. Scholars and reviewers had said that his music is beautiful, exciting, and contemporary; Martín can do some amazing things, and he is always willing to experiment and explore. His take-no-prisoners approach incorporating the latest electronic manipulations with a deep jazz sensibility sets the standard for future forays into this fertile musical amalgam. His ensemble somehow manages to sound absolutely up-to-date while still retaining a recognizable jazz feeling.
