Formed in 2004 the Benoit Martiny Band's roots are in a room in a garage in the small village Rameldange (Luxembourg).
Here through the years drummer Benoit Martiny developed with his bandmates an original musical style, that draws its identity from the composite background of the musicians, ranging from jazz and blues to garage rock, trash, experimental noise.During the process of refining its style and finding the definitive line-up, the band released "Jazz goes Garage" in 2005, under a local label.
Having decided that the label's conditions where unsatisfactory, the band decided to release their new effort on Quinto Quarto. The cd, that has been recorded in Brussels, is been called simply "Benoit Martiny Band" as the band considers it the most representative introduction to their work.
BMB is the 1st prize winner of the 2008 Amersfoort Jazz Talent Award, and has been performing in many different venues in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Hungary, France, Belgium, Italy
