Dmitri Matheny Quintet at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

About

Musicians that dedicate themselves solely to the flugelhorn are few and far between in jazz. Even the great Art Farmer split time between trumpet and the full throated sound of the flugelhorn. Dmitri Matheny is surely one of the most visible artists in the Pacific Northwest, performing extensively throughout the region. Here, he is joined by some of Seattle’s best. Pianist Bill Anschell, bassist Phil Sparks, saxophonist Michael Brockman and drummer Mark Ivester join in an all - Mancini program. Matheny has always had a way of putting a personal bent on tunes just bordering on jazz in his own lyrical way.
