About Me

object width="425" height="350" Saxophone Player / Composer / Arranger / Producer / DJ Martin Buursen lives in Utrecht, Holland.About me: The old dutch city of Utrecht, Holland is my hometown. From there I do a lot of recording, live performances as a Saxplayer and as a DJ. Having had my musical 'education' as a founding member of Dutch funk legends JD Construction and having toured extensively with The Bob Color, I now devide my time between free-lancing and my own bands. I love to combine live music with real-time sequencing and sampling tools like Ableton Live. Furthermore, I have a live House / lounge / groove band. check http:// www.jazzbeatsnow.nl for tunes and info.I'm also freelancing with people like Hans Dulfer, Kiers & De Vries and Dutch Jazz Diva Lils Mackintosch and master percussionist Eddie Conard.BEATS 'N SAX ! Exploring new areas, I have developed my BEATS 'N SAX live set this summer. During DJ-ing I'm playing live saxophone to specially composed funky house beats. This adds new flavours and energy to the set! Come check it out sometime....
