The Martini Kings

Regular player with the Martini Kings who are Los Angeles’ premiere cocktail band. They play an exotic combination of retro classics, jazzy standards, bossa novas and cool instrumentals from the 1940’s to 1960’s. Their swingin’ instrumental style will create a hip and elegant supper club vibe that is perfect for listening or dancing – sophisticated, but never sleepy!
