"Dangerous Martini is
amazing. We booked them to play at a cocktail
reception and got so many compliments on our find!
Tré
Taylor, the lead singer, has this terrific smoky
voice and totally gets the retro jazz ambiance
going. The band is professional, puts on a great
show, and really appreciates a good audience. They
were extremely accommodating and even helped out
with a few special song requests.
While they do private events, they also have shows
all over the bay area. Check them out, and
definitely give them a listen if you have a wedding
or upscale event coming up. mp3s of their
repertoire are on their website I would definitely
hire them again!"

"Dust off
that martini shaker one more time, folks- the cocktail movement is not
quite dead….that is, at least if music like this remains readily
available!
Dangerous
Martini featuring vocalist Tré Taylor, is a jazz quintet based in the
San Francisco Bay Area. A competently concocted slice of
cocktail jazz to sooth the soul and arouse the senses. Taylor is
an earthy yet sophisticated jazz singer with soulful passionate tones.
Her style is immediately sensual, a super mood maker. Fans of
Diana Krall and Norah Jones will find Tré Taylor worth checking out."

"A wonderful Swingin' lounge lizard band, led by vivacious vocalist Tré
Taylor, Tré is the next best thing to Jessica Rabbit (seriously
folks, if Bob Zemeckis makes a RETURN OF ROGER RABBIT, there is no God
in heaven if Tré doesn't do the singing segments), with a couple
nods to Etta James' soul-gospel and Betty Carter's breathy ballad
prowess, she's joined by Art pepper-ish alto saxophonist Ruben
Salcido, the finger-poppin' rhythm section of bassist Mark Petrella,
Sameer Gupta or Darius Minaee on drums, Doug Wendt and/or Rick
Vandavier on guitar."

"The
sounds of Tré Taylor and Dangerous Martini fill the room with a
sensuality that seems to bead and drip from the ceiling like thick
moisture. You can't escape
it. Not since hearing
Carl Weathersby's
cover "Feels Like Rain" at Buddy Guy's Legends have I felt
such energy.”

Dear
Tré and the Guys in the Band,
We
have just returned from California and and we are still humming
the melodies from the reception. You set a marvelous tone for
the reception. We were so pleased. Everyone of the guests
remarked about the great music...they wanted more of you! Thank
you again for setting our daughter's wedding memories to music.
Continued success to all of you.

"You
should have been our headliner for Saturday San
Francisco Pride
this
year. We had no idea about the following you have. You got everyone up dancing, grooving and feeling alive again.
Thank you for adding so much energy and talent to the 2004 San
Francisco Pride Main Stage Hot Music Line-up."
