This show promises to be lively, fun, and full of surprises!” The quintet will put a fresh spin on familiar favorites such as On The Sunny Side of the Street, I Wanna Be Like You, Jump, Jive & Wail, Let The Good Times Roll, What A Wonderful World, and more! “An all-star jazz band featuring some of the most accomplished musicians in the western United States” (All About Jazz), the group is renowned for its crowd-pleasing performances of lyrical originals and timeless classics. American flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny 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 twelve 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.” Dmitri Matheny (flugelhorn), Brice Winston (tenor saxophone), Angelo Versace (piano), Scott Black (bass) and Pete Swan (drums).
