From jazz’n’roll at their very beginning to the genuinely unique powerhouse of psychedelic and cinematic grooves that makes the meticulous & prolific band we know today…
The Benoit Martiny Band or BMB are a Jazz-Rock Band formed in summer 2004 somewhere in between a garage in Rameldange (Luxembourg) and the streets of Rotterdam (Holland) where the band members met during their Jazz studies.
The group consists of Benoit Martiny (Luxembourg) on drums, Sandor Kem (Hungary) on Bass, Jasper van Damme (The Netherlands) and Joao Driessen (NL) on Saxophones, and Frank Jonas (NL) on guitar.
The music they play is composed by Martiny and is inspired by Rock, Free Jazz, and Psychedelia, taking inspiration from artists such as Led Zep, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix & Miles Davis.
Over the years BMB has released 6 albums and 2 DVDs. The band was nominated for the Dutch Jazz Competition in 2005 and won the Amersfoort Jazz Talent Award in 2008. Apart from touring all over Europe the band has also played concerts and festivals in Japan and Venezuela.
