10/14 Tuesday

7:00 PM Andrei Matorin

The Boston Globe calls Brazilian-born Andrei Matorin an "emerging jazz violinist" and featured the Andrei Matorin Quartet in their Picks-of-the-Week column earlier this year next to the likes of jazz greats such as Bill Charlap, Jim Hobbs, and John Patitucci. As a composer, Andrei’s music seamlessly blends the harmonic and rhythmic intensity of jazz with the emotion and sensitivity of classical music while always alluding to the soaring melodies of his native Brazil. As a student at Berklee College of Music, he has been honored with Berklee's Achievement Award on two separate occasions.

Andrei Matorin is also an alumnus of Betty Carter's Jazz Ahead 2008 Program at The Kennedy Center in Washington DC, an exclusive program that "identifies outstanding, emerging jazz artists in their mid-teens and twenties" from an international pool of applicants. Look out for his debut album available February 2009.
