The BurgstallerMartignon4 are Joe Burgstaller (trumpets), Hector Martignon (piano), Hans Glawischnig (bass) and John Ferrari (percussion). Formed in 2005, they creatively mix together jazz and classical music.
Trumpeter and crossover artist JOE BURGSTALLER has performed and taught in 48 states, 21 countries and hundreds of cities throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia, and has performed and taught at over 70 universities, conservatories and colleges around the world. He tours worldwide as a soloist in recital and with orchestra and band, with his crossover group BM4 (BurgstallerMartignon4), and as a clinician and teacher. Joe is a Distinguished Faculty member at The Peabody Institute of Music in Baltimore, MD, and teaches each summer at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, CA. He is an active arranger and composer, and is in his second decade as a Yamaha Performing Artist. Burgstaller is a former full-time member of both Canadian Brass and Meridian Arts Ensemble, and was one of the all-time most popular soloists at Columbia Artists Community Concerts (alumni include Van Cliburn and Heifetz). His extensive discography includes his solo CD The Virtuoso Trumpet and three Top-10 Billboard hits with Canadian Brass. BM4s most recent release, Mozarts Blue Dreams, vaulted immediately into the Top-50 JazzRadio Charts.
Pianist HECTOR MARTIGNON is a multiple Grammy nominee (most recently in 2008 for his latest solo album Refugee) and has performed, recorded, composed, produced, and arranged music in a myriad of styles and genres for his own projects and for top musicians around the world. Hector, a native of Columbia, has toured the world as a featured pianist with the bands of Tito Puente, Mario Bauzá, Steve Turre, Don Byron, Chico OFarrill, Paquito DRivera, Max Roach, and Ray Barretto. During his eight-year association with Barretto, Hectors contributions as pianist, arranger, and composer were fundamental in shaping the sound of the New World Spirit Sextet. He also collaborated as conductor, arranger, and co-composer in the production of many Broadway musicals including "Chronicle of a Death Foretold", Paul Simon's "The Capeman" (1998 Tony nominee for musical score) and "Selena Forever". His film and television credits include the Oscar-nominated film "Eat, Drink, Man, Woman" by Ang Lee, and spots for HBO Latino and Coca-Cola.
JOHN FERRARI enjoys a multi-faceted career as a versatile classical and hand percussionist, drummer, conductor and educator. Musically active in chamber, orchestral, pop, jazz, Broadway, dance, film and television, he has toured extensively as both a performer and a clinician in the U.S., Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean and Asia. John is a Naumburg Award Winner (as a founding member of New Millennium Ensemble), a member of Meridian Arts Ensemble, a frequent guest artist of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and has performed and recorded with Bang On A Can All-Stars, Orion String Quartet, New Band and Solisti New York. John holds DMA and MM degrees from SUNY Stony Brook, and a BM from William Paterson University where he has been on the faculty since 2002. Dr. Ferrari is also a resident-artist at the Manhattan School of Music for a trail-blazing degree program in Contemporary Music Performance.
Bassist HANS GLAWISCHNIG tours and performs around the world with such jazz and latin-jazz luminaries Chick Corea, Ray Barretto, Phil Woods, Ravi Coltrane, James Moody and David Sanchez. Hans received two Grammy nominations as part of Sanchez Melaza Sextet, and has more than 50 album appearances to his credit, including solo releases Panorama (2008) and Common Ground (2003). Originally from Graz, Austria, Hans started playing violin at age six, then switched to bass in his early teens, studying jazz with his father, a renowned European jazz pianist. Hans attended Berklee School of Music (B.A. magna cum laude), and completed his Masters at the Manhattan School of Music. After playing with Bobby Watson and Maynard Ferguson, Hans joined Ray Barretto's sextet, which led to a long association with David Sanchez' acclaimed groups. Recently Chick Corea invited Hans to participate in the premiere of the pianists 2nd piano concerto, The Continents, and to tour with his Spirit of Mozart project.
