Matt Jorgensen + 451 March 27, 2008

Matt Jorgensen is a drummer, composer and arranger who formed the band, 451, to combine intellectual and pop musical energies into a fever dream. One of the first jazz groups to re-introduce fender rhodes piano as a leading voice, 451 features an unusual combination of instruments -- that by now have come to sound utterly organic. With music and musicians committed to something more than the accumulation of brilliant solos, electronics interweave perfectly with saxophones, bass and drums. 451 is made up of players who hold nothing back, who rock out in high-octane group virtuosity.
