Celebrated for his warm tone, soaring lyricism and masterful technique, American musician Dmitri Matheny has been lauded as one of the most emotionally expressive improvisers of his generation (International Review of Music). First introduced to jazz audiences in the 1990s as the protg of Art Farmer, Matheny has matured into one of the jazz worlds most talented horn players (San Francisco Chronicle).Born on Christmas Day, 1965 in Nashville,Tennessee, Dmitri was raised in Georgia and Arizona. Attracted to his fathers collection of jazz and classical LP records, Dmitri began piano lessons at age 5, switched to the trumpet at age 9, and took up the flugelhorn at 18.Matheny attended the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan, then the Berklee College of Music, Boston, graduating magna cum laude in 1989. After private studies with Carmine Caruso in New York City, Matheny became the protg of the legendary Art Farmer, a formative relationship that lasted over a decade. Farmer, the bebop master who defined the sound of the flugelhorn in modern jazz (All Music Guide), was Mathenys public champion and private mentor. Generously sharing his wisdom, experience and influence, it was Farmer who encouraged Dmitri to devote himself exclusively to the Big Horn. Under Farmers tutelage Matheny emerged as a promising new voice in jazz.Art Farmers role in the early success of Dmitri Matheny cannot be overstated, observed writer and historian Phil Elwood. Without Art, there could be no Dmitri.Dmitri Matheny - FlugelhornHolly Pyle - VocalsDany Gaynor - KeyboardEric Gruber - BassMichael Raynor = DrumsNotes on Seating: The Jack London provides two options for ticket purchasers.
