Snap on 2&4 w/ Matt White
Join us on Friday, July 25 at 8pm for the return of one of our favorite people, trumpeter Matt White. Matt was on the faculty at Belmont University for several years and taught at the Jazz Workshop before moving to South Carolina to take a position as Assistant Professor of Trumpet at Coastal Carolina University.
Matt White is an exceptional jazz trumpeter who holds Doctorate and Master's Degrees in Studio Music and Jazz from the University of Miami, and a Bachelor in Jazz Performance from the University of North Florida. Until recently a frequent sideman in Nashville, Matt has also toured with the hit group the Mavericks and has performed with a variety of commercial and creative artists, including: Dave Liebman, Arturo Sandoval, Ira Sullivan, the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Rihanna, Paul Anka, and Bruce Hornsby, among others.
Since joining the faculty at Coastal Carolina University Matt has wasted no time in becoming a major force: his peers honored him with the John B. Durrel Award for Teaching, Scholarship, and Service at the university!
Matt''s CD, The Super Villian Jazz Band, was recorded here in Nashville, with most of the players on the upcoming performance. The CD received four stars from DownBeat this past January, and has garnered critical raves, such as:
"Golden toned trumpeter Matt White leads an adroitly cohesive hard bop sextet on this collection of originals Through each track, you'll get drawn into White's warm sound, able to sound fragile and fluffy or full of vinegar when needed." - George W. Harris, Jazz Weekly
"White is one of those rare legit jazz triple threats working as a performer, composer and educator with mad skills across the board. Matt White is fearless, he goes for the jugular when performing with an aggressive lyrical intensity" - Brent Black, Bop-N-Jazz
Joining Matt will be Evan Cobb (saxophone), Joe Davidian (piano), Jonathan Wires (bass), and Jim White (drums), plus some surprise guests! The band will be performing material from the CD as well as debuting some brand new compositions from Matt's next project.
