Tino Martinez
2022 Best of Bermuda Musician
For the past four years Tino has been the frontman of the Tino Martinez Quintet, the jazz band he formed with Dino “Richie” Richol, Raymond George, Torrey Tacklyn and Troy Washington. Prior to that he'd played with several groups, and most recently was a member of DIA. He was nominated and won Bermuda Best Musician in 2022. Tino infuses the culture of jazz back into the Bermuda music scene. Look out for his signature Jazz Nights at The Loren with the Tino Martinez Quintet, to catch the powerfully smooth sound of his saxophone. One of their regulars in the audience is veteran jazz musician and teacher Wendell “Shine” Hayward. “He comes to all our shows and gives us advice all the time,” Mr Martinez said. “He tells us to keep up the great work and stick with it. He always says ‘keep it saxy’.”
