Music In The Box
Sat. Sept. 23
@7:30 PM
The Willie Martinez Latin Jazz Quartet includes Martinez, an accomplished drummer, percussionist, arranger/composer and vocalist, joined by Nicki Denner on piano/vocals, Bernie Minoso on bass, and Anton Denner on reeds and flute.
Martinez has been a familiar face in New York City’s eclectic music scene for well over 20 years. He has imparted his unique rhythmic and vocal styling upon groups performing everything from Gothic Funk at the New York rock club CBGB’s to Afro Cuban jazz at the Isaac Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall.
Pianist/composer Nicki Denner has worked with Sheila E., Savion Glover, Michele Lee, Doc Severinsen as well other jazz and Latin artists in the U.S., Asia, Europe and Latin America.
Bernie Minoso, one of the most in demand bassists on the Latin and Latin Jazz scenes, started on the trombone at age 11. He played with boro- and city-wide ensembles while in high school, switched to bass at 21, and performed with local and touring bands. Minoso later joined world-renowned Cuban percussionist Mongo Santamaria and his group.
