Life in music: Masteller credits his father, a jazz violinist, with his early education in jazz.

He played in jazz groups on the island and Savannah, but established himself in Lowcountry musical lore by opening The Jazz Corner in the Village at Wexford in 1999. The club hosts live jazz seven night a week and has hosted internationally known artists from pianist Ellis Marsalis and guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli.
