Bobby Militello

Bobby Militello, alto saxophone and flute, first caught Dave Brubeck’s ear at a jazz festival when he stepped out in front of the Maynard Ferguson band to take a “dazzling” flute solo. Dave Brubeck asked Militello to audition for the Quartet in 1982 and they’ve been playing together ever since. Prior to his work with Brubeck, Militello toured with the Maynard Ferguson band from 1975-79. He has appeared with the Buffalo Philharmonic several times, performing contemporary works by Pat Williams, Oscar Peterson and Dave Brubeck, and has appeared with Chuck Mangione, Bill Holman and Bob Florence, among many others. Bobby has recorded numerous TV and film scores in Hollywood and has also led and recorded with his own groups, which have ranged in style from fusion to Latin to blues and funk.
