About Me



THE GAVIN PETRIE TRIO is one of the most exciting jazz groups in the Buffalo area. On any given night you will hear the Trio play classic jazz standards, to funky originals that fuse the genres of jazz, funk, and pop. In addition to that it's not uncommon to hear some Medeski Martin and Wood, The Funky Meters, or John Scofield tunes scattered throughout the show.
GAVIN PETRIE is a band director, and plays in a few different bands around Buffalo. He filled the shoes of keyboard player in 2003 and has been the musical director for the Trio since they formed. Gavin writes the original tunes, and brings the sounds of the Fender Rhodes, Hammond B3, and classic piano to the Trio. Gavin plays with The Maniacs. They are a the longest running Grateful Dead tribute band in Buffalo. He also plays with Workingman's Dead, the newest Grateful Dead tribute band in town.
JOE QUADER is a public school orchestra director and brings those skills to the Trio. He is a versatile bassist who creates lines that are appropriate to whatever style of music he is playing. Joe is also a bassist on the worship team at his church. He recently joined Three Cheese Omelet, an improvisational group that specializes in live electronics and looping supported by a strong groove.
JAYME KELLY has been playing drums around the Buffalo area for around fifteen years. He brings his wide knowledge of music and experience playing live to every trio gig. Jayme also plays drums with Viva Noir. The Viva Noir is a Post-Punk, Art-Rock and Brit-Pop inspired four-piece band.
THE GAVIN PETRIE TRIO is often graced by the presence of guest vocalist SARAH PETRIE. Sarah is one of the only local vocalists who sings such a wide variety of music. You'll hear tunes from Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, Joss Stone, John Mayer and Dave Matthews Band.
OTHER MUSICIANS to have shared the stage with The Gavin Petrie Trio are UB professor Dave Schiavone and local jazz legend Dr. Joe Baudo. We aim to please all jazz fans regardless of age or taste, and our setlist page proves it. So come on out and see for yourself what is happening in the world of Jazz in the Queen City.
