Martin Case and The Lee

“The Lee is a groove-based ethnic/jazz ensemble that provides a sensuous, danceable rhythm and vibe, comprised of West African percussion, two saxophones, acoustic/electric bass, drums, and keys. The Lee has been described as ‘Peter Gabriel Meets Mingus’ or ‘John Lurie Meets Babatunde Olatunji’”.

Beyond East-the latest album from composer Martin Case.  ”Beyond East is the latest album from artist Martin Case, chronicling a man’s musical interactions with the people of the earth, how the world has changed him, and the importance of channeling multiple dialects into a cohesive, meaningful vision. Combining threads of ancient knowledge, gleaned from the Earth, and the people close to it; the result is a flavorful tapestry, almost dangerously woven with modern production standards. Rhythms from exotic Peru, oral tradition African melodies, and the colorful personalities of Martin’s Vermont sashay a lavish manifold that explores and reaffirms our collective unconscious. This is music as it was intended, intensely conductive yet vital to the exploration of our human community.”
