Willie Martinez – Drums/Vocals . Silvano Monasterios – Piano . Melissa Slocum – Bass

Willie Martinez has been a familiar face in New York City’s eclectic music scene for well over thirty-five years.  As well as being one of the most sought-after drummers on the Latin Jazz scene today, Willie is also an accomplished arranger and composer.   He is a master percussionist with yet another secret weapon:  Willie is also a gifted vocalist.

The Willie Martinez Trio combines the melodies of iconic jazz repertoire with the deep and infectious rhythms of the Afro Caribbean!  It shows how this marriage is timeless and smokes with every note.
