Martin Salemi Trio

Released in 2017, ‘Short Stories’ ( IGLOO Records ) was critically and publicly acclaimed – « There’s some Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett in this young musician (…) a knock out » (Le Soir ***), « I really can’t praise this album highly enough (…) Get it! » (Lynn René Bayley, US). In 2018, he won first prize at the B-Jazz International Contest – « What a good band! They sound beautiful ».

His second trio album, ‘About Time’, released in Autumn 2021, was considered an « instant classic » by Philippe Baron - RTBF and got a 4-star review in Jazz Magazine (FR). « Always of great accuracy and astonishing musicality (…). To listen to and re-listen to until you lose all sense of time. (…). Discover without delay! » (Brigitte Mahaux - RTBF Musiq3)

After returning from a tour of Japan, he released his third album, “Leaving: Live On Tour”, in 2023. “There's an elegance to the trio throughout the record (…) A sophisticated sound that deserves fuller exposure beyond the trio's home country.” Stephen Graham - Marlbank (UK)
