The performance, Matheny's first Bay Area appearance in five years, will feature the talents of Ken French on piano, Ruth Davies bass, Mark Lee drums, and the leader on flugelhorn, in a sneak preview of Matheny's new album CASCADIA.
"An all-star jazz band featuring some of the most accomplished musicians in the western United States," writes All About Jazz, "the Dmitri Matheny Group is a cohesive and seamless unit, serving up equal parts soulful expression, caressing phrases, imaginative asides, and dedicated lyricism." The Oakland Tribune agrees: "Their music is a fertile landscape without boundaries, earning Matheny and his cohorts a reputation as one of the most eclectic and daring ensembles on today's jazz scene."
American musician Dmitri Matheny was recently voted "NW Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year" in Seattle's Earshot Jazz Golden Ear Awards, and has been lauded as "one of the most emotionally expressive improvisers of his generation" (International Review of Music). An honors graduate of Berklee College of Music, Dmitri Matheny vaulted onto the jazz scene in the 1990s as the protégé of jazz legend Art Farmer. Since then he has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal international following, releasing eleven CDs and touring extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.The San Francisco Chronicle calls Matheny "one of the jazz world's most talented horn players."
