Black Market Trio

The "warm havana nights" sound of Scott Andrews' sizzlin' saxophone, James Gallardo's cookin' bass, and Darrell Voss's smokin' hot bongo and conga drums fill the air with a headstrong and cool confidence.

You know you have heard many of these songs before...back in the days when martini's were standard nooner fare... but have you heard them played like this?

It's a whole new re-imagined sound, the playing especially gentle yet fiery, the counterpoint deft and delicate, the sound so damn "cool" that you have to call it that, recreated in a trio form - minimalist style - by three masterful musicians who swing, funk, and pound out a conga dance like no other within miles from the Central Coast of California.

Since 2005, Black Market Trio enlivens events, parties, wine and art gatherings, festivals, premiere stage events, corporate events, benefits, house parties, and more.

If you are not yet a Black Market Trio fan, you will be after one experience. You may even decide to take up the saxophone, bass, or bongo drums yourself - their enthusiasm for their crafty rhythms is that infectious - and practice 'til your fingers get blood-blisters and your wrists carpel tunnel syndrome. But don't say you weren't warned!

Black Market Trio can stylishly blend in the background or come to the forefront and bring the dancers alive with taboo-influenced, rhythmic saxophone-screamin', cowbell-beatin', bass-thumpin' Latin Fever!

It's a vibe that will last in the memories of each listener for years!

Black Market Trio is San Luis Obispo County's Premiere Latin Jazz Trio performing for live music events throughout Central Coast counties (including San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Monterey).
