Martijn Vanbuel is a jazz acoustic and electric bass player, composer/producer and educator who is active in a wide range of styles of music. Having spent 10 years living in Asia, Martijn has a keen interest in all sorts of folk and world music (off which jazz is one) and often fuses these styles into his own whimsical compositions. Being educated as a decent jazz standard and bebop player (Lemmens-Instituut Leuven and Conservatoire Supérieur de Paris), Martijn uses these skills into a much wider range of settings, such as his own Orbit Folks (with 3 albums published), the Taiwanese world jazz group Sizhukong, or with the semi-Arabic Amber Haddad Quartet.
