Remembering Martin Hummel - New Artists Announced

31 August 2025

TRIBUTE TO UBUNTU MUSIC’S MARTIN HUMMEL :: MONDAY 8 SEPTEMBER

We invite you to join us as we honour the life and legacy of Martin Hummel, the much-loved founder of Ubuntu Music, who passed away earlier this year after a brave battle with cancer.

A passionate champion of jazz in all its forms, Martin’s influence reached far and wide, from nurturing rising stars such as Camilla George and Mark Kavuma, to giving seasoned greats the platform they deserved. His unwavering commitment to musical excellence and inclusivity helped make Ubuntu Music one of the UK’s most respected jazz labels.

Martin’s friends, trumpeter Quentin Collins and vocalist Noemi Nuti, have gathered together a stellar line-up of artists wanting to pay tribute to Martin’s vision, generosity and spirit. A number of musicians have just been added to the lineup, including Tim Garland, Brandon Allen, Ant Law, Omar and Gareth Lockrane. This is the full list as of 31st August:

Paul Booth, Luca Boscagin, Darius Brubeck, Alina Bzhezhinska, James Copus, Paul Edis, Camilla George, Mark Kavuma, Tony Kofi, Rob Luft, Dave O’Higgins, Leo Richardson, Vasilis Xenopoulos, Brandon Allen, Omar, Tim Garland, Moyses Dos Santos, Pete Lee, Rob Cope, Calum Gourlay, Ruben Fowler, Misha Mullov-Abbado, Joe Downard, Ant Law, Miguel Gorodi, Andrew McCormack, Tristan Banks, Corrie Dick, Rick Simpson, Fraser Smith, Tom Cawley, Alex Western King, Gareth Lockrane, Conor Chaplin, Rob Barron, Matyas Hofecker & Matt Home. 

This promises to be an unforgettable evening of music and memories. For additional information and booking visit 606club.co.uk/events/view/tribute-to-ubuntu-musics-martin-hummel/
