SUMMARY:MATT VON RODERICK BAND
DESCRIPTION:Inhabiting the rarified air of innovative jazz trumpeter and heart-centered crooner\, Matt Von Roderick has been hailed as “a post-millennial Chet Baker” by the New York Times and “a top-drawer trumpeter who also sings like an angel obscured by a storm cloud” by JazzTimes Magazine. \nMatt’s uplifting message and poignant sound have been featured among the world’s most celebrated venues\, including Carnegie Hall\, Lincoln Center and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. If you can imagine a one-of-a-kind trumpet virtuosity paired with dreamy vocals\, deeply authentic jazz roots and soaring soundscapes\, you’re beginning to conjure the artistry of Matt Von Roderick. \nVon Roderick has enjoyed working with many of the most respected names in jazz and beyond\, including Brad Mehldau\, Kenny Werner\, Antonio Sanchez\, Chris Potter\, Neil Diamond\, Dionne Warwick and The Saturday Night Live Band. Von Roderick and his clarion tone have appeared in numerous film and television spots including SNL and The Ellen Show\, as well as at events with best-selling author and spiritual activist Marianne Williamson. Matt was named the 1st place winner of The Independent Music Awards Jazz Category as judged by progressive Rock icon Lou Reed\, awarded as finalist in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition\, and was a recipient of the Vilar Global Fellowship\, dubbed the “Rhodes Scholarship” of the performing arts by The New York Times. \nVon Roderick often combines his classic\, lush tones with adventurous vocal/trumpet multiphonics\, a dash of loops and contemporary spoken word to create what the International Trumpet Guild calls “exquisite”\, while Downbeat Magazine describes his musical approach as being “Zen-like”. \nMatt Von Roderick prioritizes the spiritual aspects of music. He genuinely loves his audiences — it is his great joy to bring you joy.

SUMMARY:Dean Grech
DESCRIPTION:As with many artists of his caliber\, Grech’s music career and his long road to success started at a young age. Grech began his devotion to music and guitar at age 7. He played his first paying gig at age 11. His dedication only increased when he took lessons from world-renowned classical guitarist\, and Decca recording artist\, Rey Delatorre at the age of 14. With the advanced technique that comes with classical training\, Dean later found his niche playing jazz and emulating guitarists who would become Grech’s guide to improv in the years to come. His interest started with a gift. Grech’s jazz influence can be traced back to a friend of the family who gave him a stack of records. In that stack\, Grech found “Kaleidoscope” by Johnny Smith and “Boss Guitar” by Wes Montgomery. The passion was placed. The sounds of these two guitar players haunted Grech relentlessly from that point on. \nWith those records\, Dean locked himself in his room and practice for hours on end. While most kids set their sights on Saturday morning television\, Grech set his sights to play jazz as a profession. His friends from those days remind him. Tha’?s all he talked about\, they say today. At the chagrin of Delatorre\, who envisioned Grech to be a great classical player someday in his footsteps\, those jazz records essentially ended Grech’s classical guitar career. Jazz music opened the door to improvisation he loved more. Grech never looked back. Within the next few years\, Dean began to perfect his jazz improv technique through hours of practice in his room and with engagements he played professionally at a young age. Determined to follow his path at 19\, Grech went on to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston. At college\, his passion for jazz\, and music in general\, solidified his pursuit to follow a music career. He?s never done anything else. \nThrough the next few decades after school\, Dean fulfilled many dreams. Dean would go on to tour with original and cover groups who played locally and worldwide. Later\, his work could also be found on television and movie soundtracks. Grech would have success as a songwriter for various American and European artists. He was employed by The Walt Disney Company and traveled with their world tours and for their park in Anaheim for seven years. It was after many years of stage work\, Grech turned to his biggest dream. Performing and recording original jazz content became a reality. Finding success with a jazz Christmas tune that received radio play\, producers encouraged Dean to compose his first album. Grech went to work. He has since completed three albums\, “Look Out” and “We Got Lost.” His third album\, “Back in Time” is hitting the airwaves in April of 2021.
