I was fortunate to have played a lot with Martin in the past decade or so. Him, along with Justine Francis make up a small sub group of Hamilton musicians with whom you can create magic without needing to speak a word or look at a chart or sheet music. Seemingly effortlessly brilliant. Him and his gigantic mitts are sorely missed.
