Bio
- Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Matt has been playing the saxophone since his days at El Carmelo Elementary School. He left the sunshine of California for the flurries and wintry mix of Northeastern Ohio, where he attended Oberlin College and Consuuhhvatry to study with Gary Bartz and Paul Cohen, among others. After graduating he moved back to the Bay Area and became an active member of the experimental/jazz/noise/whatever scene in Oakland and San Francisco. He's had the pleasure of performing and recording with a lot of different musicians and bands like Timosaurus, Arts & Sciences, Beep!, Graham Connah, Weasel Walter, Peter Evans, Ben Goldberg, genevbaker, 8 Legged Monster, The Jazz Mafia, Zion I, and tUnE-yArDs. He is now spending a good portion of his time living in Brooklyn, with recurrent trips back to Oakland.
