Frank Martin Bio

Jump to Comments

Multi-platinum recording artist and pianist Frank Martin has performed with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to the San Francisco Symphony, Sting, Stevie Wonder and Elton John. And his jazz resume is equally lengthy and impressive, including gigs with Herbie Hancock, Flora Purim Joe Farrell and the Slide Hampton Big Band. In addition to performing, arranging and producing, the Oakland-born Martin also teaches at Berkeley’s JazzSchool, heads the advanced jazz combo at the University of California, Berkeley, and serves as a much sought after clinician at the Stanford Jazz Workshop and music festivals here and in Europe. This marks Martin’s 11th year at the Lafayette Summer Music Workshop.
