I had never heard of Linley Marthe until I saw the Zawinul Syndicate live at Blues Alley in Washington DC, October 2006. I've been looking for recordings with him ever since.
Zawinul knows how to pick bass players, and Linley is no exception.
There's very little on the web about Linley, and I hope that changes. Here's some of what I've found so far...

- I am from Mauritius and I discovered Mr Marthe at a Joe Zawinul Syndicate concert back in 2007... I was quite lucky to see Mr Zawinul line up with our greatest Mauritian bassist in one of his last shows. It was however Mr Marthe's night as the latter displayed unchallenged mastery of rhythm, aligning and modulating theblues , the jazz and even the sega. My dream as a would-be journalist is to be able to write a nice documentary on the music of my country...

- Hi,
i had the pleasure to play with linley when he was 14 YEARS OLD. We played every night in a hotel in mauritius during 3 years. He was already an unbelievable bass player.
Everybody was saying the he would be one of the best in the world and that's what he is today.
I'm very proud of him.
For me he is the best groovy and impressive modern jazz electric bass player actually.
