Matt Eakle Band Live Jazz Fusion February 16, 2012

About The Matt Eckle Band - Flute-Fired Jazz Fusion
Matt Eakle and his flute have been blowing crowds out of their chairs and onto their feet since 1989. He was the first wind player to share the front line with David Grisman in the David Grisman Quintet. He's featured on 14 Acoustic Disc CDs with the DGQ, Jerry Garcia, Enrique Coria, and as the leader of his own jazz trio on the CD, Flute Jazz. On these and hundreds of other recordings, Matt takes people's preconceived notions of what a flute can do and blows them inside out.

If you haven't heard Matt Eakle, chances are you've never heard a flute dig this deep into the groove. The same virtuosity, energy, and spirit Matt brings to three Grammy nominated recordings, and which electrifies audiences at sold-out concert venues and festivals around the world, bursts from every seam of the Matt Eakle Band. The groove has just gotten deeper. With Alex Baum on bass, Jack Dorsey on drums, and Joey Edelman on keyboard, the Matt Eakle Band highlights the long history of four brilliant musicians whose synergy is a force of nature.
