The Walter Martella Trio is made up of three talented and versatile local musicians, well known for their special blend of jazz. Walter Martella, on piano and trumpet, Rob Reed on drums and Doug (Buffalo) Saunders on bass, always treat their audiences to highly innovative evolutions of tunes, each given a flair and interpretation that suggest new and unrealized insights into its lyrical and/or melodic intentions.The trio never fails to offer up an exciting and highly entertaining musical experience, presented with both an interactive sense of group performance, and made even more exciting by the actual skills made obvious during their moments of musical improvisation.
From the funky blues, to the intimate and introspective improvisations, and for their unique renditions of repertoire you’ll want to hear again and again, this trio is well up to the task of providing an enthusiastic and ambitious performance.
