Saxophonist Elan TROTMAN, has quickly become one of jazz’s most
thrilling and emotive performers as he continues to stand out and push
boundaries as a composer, performer, teacher and recording artist.
TROTMAN’s playing, though inspired by Grover Washington, Jr., Kirk
Whalum and Najee, displays his own fresh ideas and distinctive tone.
So much so that the New England Urban Music Awards, and The Barbados
Music Awards both named him Jazz Artist of The Year on multiple
occasions. TROTMAN IS ALSO THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AND HOST OF THE
BARBADOS JAZZ EXCURSION, a jazz and golf weekend getaway which brings
over 300 music lovers to the island every Columbus Day Weekend. Past

Simpson, Althea Rene, Marcus Anderson, Peter White and Jeffrey
Osborne. Elan is also the founder of the Never Lose Your Drive
Foundation – a Non-Profit which directly funds the Headstart Music
Program. Headstart Music provides FREE weekly instrument instruction
to students ages 7-11 on saxophone, trumpet, flute, clarinet and
percussion. In 2016, over $6,000.00 was raised at the Jazz Excursion
Weekend and Golf Tournament. All proceeds go towards tutor salaries,
instrument maintenance and supplies for the program. Born and raised
in Barbados, the native island of pop star Rihanna, and educated at
the world-renowned Berklee College Of Music in Boston,TROTMAN
APPROACHES JAZZ IN HIS OWN WAY. Blending Caribbean rhythms from his
roots with skillful horn textures, his playing is full of surprises.

PHILLIP "Doc" MARTIN Website Watch Born in Indiana to Jamaican
parents, MARTIN GREW UP IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND BEGAN PLAYING MUSIC IN
THE BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL BAND PROGRAM. Developing his fiery
performance style by age 14, he became a leading soloist at South
Plantation High School Jazz Band and was honored as a first chair
selection to Florida’s All State Jazz Band. He went on to study
music at the University of Central Florida, where he was soon invited
to play as a sideman with Grammy Award winner Sam Rivers, Grammy
nominee Kirk Whalum, Sunnie Paxton, Wes Hamrick, Davonda Simmonds and
Susaundra Lewis and the Sounds of Soul. As MARTIN CONTINUED TO HONE
HIS SKILLS, he became influenced by influential sax players from
across the traditional and smooth spectrum, including Charlie Parker,
Everette Harp, Grover Washington Jr., Dave Koz and Gerald Albright. In
addition to his acclaimed discography (which includes the 2007 set
Pride and Joy), his appeal as a live performer has secured him shows
at prominent venues like Ram’s Head Tavern in Annapolis, Maryland,
Philadelphia’s Dell East and SoCal’s Spaghettini, in addition to
appearances at the Bahamas Jazz Festival, Carolina Music Festival,
Trenton Jazz Festival and Berks Jazz Fest. Because of the financial
ups and downs of being an independent artist, MARTIN MADE AN IMPORTANT
LIFE DECISION TO BECOME A DENTIST, moving to the Metro DC area to
attend Howard University College of Dentistry, where he received his
degree and certification. His love of music and his commitment to
dentistry were both so strong that he rebranded himself as PHILLIP
“Doc” MARTIN AND RELABELED HIS EARLY RELEASES UNDER THAT NAME SO
NEW FANS COULD FIND THEM. With the release of Pocket Love and
continuing in his thriving practice, he is showing the world that a
person who dreams big can succeed at anything they set their mind to
– even two professions at the same time! “The truth is, as
frustrating as things became for me as a musician over the years, I
couldn’t put the sax down,” he says. “My first love was always
playing the sax, and I continue to strive to be the best sounding alto
player you’ve ever heard. I wanted to quit man times, but playing
brings me so much joy, and I’m so glad I made the decision to
continue. If it’s unheard of that a saxophone artist also wants to
be the best dentist you’ve ever gone to, that’s a testament to the
hard work I have put in so that I may enjoy these two amazing careers.
In both worlds, success comes from working with incredible, dedicated
people and developing inspiring, enduring relationships.” Venue
