The New York City-based BM4 (BurgstallerMartignon4) vaulted into the top 50 US Jazz-Radio Charts in the Spring of 2009 starting with the very first week of their first release, "Mozart's Blue Dreams & Other Crossover Fantasies" (Summit Records). Their music combines Jazz and Classical into an organic hybrid that has simultaneously ignited the excitement of both Classical and Jazz fans alike.

The pioneers of the Crossover movement took music where it had never gone before, combining Jazz, Classical and many more styles, erasing boundaries and profoundly influencing the generations of musicians that grew up listening to their innovative cross-genre creations. As a result there now exists a new breed of musician, one who is comfortable and proficient in many styles and genres, capable of switching back and forth with ease, co-creating without limitation, all the while staying true to MUSIC and taking the audience on extraordinary journeys!

The BurgstallerMartignon4 (BM4) are:
Joe Burgstaller - Trumpets (Soloist, Peabody Institute, ex-Canadian Brass & Meridian Arts Ensemble)
Hector Martignon - Piano (Grammy, Tony & Oscar nominated, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Paquito D'Rivera, Mambo Kings)
