Jazz vocalist Tré Taylor is a rare breed of songstress whose imaginative and dynamic sense of melody and soulful rhythm have mesmerized audiences for over 20 years. Taylor is an earthy yet sophisticated jazz singer with strong R&B and gospel leanings. She's in charge with her outstanding four octave vocal range, bringing inflections reminiscent of Etta James, Peggy Lee & Bonnie Raitt.
Fans of Diana Krall and Norah Jones will find Tré Taylor truly worth checking out!

Local revered guitarist Doug Wendt continues to enchant and stop audiences dead in their tracks, in the San Francisco Bay area. Wendt has brought a new depth of dimension to jazz with his original expressions in guitar. A music instructor and arranger, Wendt is well versed in the studies of Andres Segovia, Alirio Diaz and Narciso Yepes. Mastering the acoustic and electric guitar, his styles consist of Jazz, Classical, Folk, Blues, Spanish and Latin guitar. With his unique influences such as Joe Pass, Robben Ford, B. B. King and Albert Collins, Wendt is one of the truly gifted and crowd pleasing musicians of the bay area.

Mark Petrella brings over 25 years of experience in many varied musical stylings to Dangerous Martini. Petrella stirs the audience to lively foot tapping when he plays swing bass: His jazz lines demonstrate shrewd, stirring discernment; and he provides earthy, pulsing rhythms in Dangerous Martinis blues numbers. His facility, melodic wit and straight-ahead power match Mark’s inventiveness and versatility.

Ruben Salcido was born in Crockett, CA. He brings the spicy hot Latin flavor to the Dangerous Martini sizzling line-up. Finalist in 2001 USA Songwriting Competition Salcido's CD, "Sal Si Puedes" gives a delicious contribution to the world of Latin jazz. Salcido has studied saxophone with Joe Henderson, Mel Martin and John Purcell.

A versatile drummer in several musical genres, Dean brings his inventive rhythms to the Dangerous Martini repetoire.
