Dmitri Matheny Group plays Sonny Rollins - 95th birthday tribute!

Join us Sunday, September 7, at Cellar Cat wine bar, as we continue our monthly jazz series with a salute to jazz legend Sonny Rollins - SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS!  On Sonny's 95th birthday, we toast the life, legacy and storied career of one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time.

According to All About Jazz, the Dmitri Matheny Group is “an all-star jazz band featuring some of the most accomplished musicians in the western United States.”

Flugelhornist Dmitri Matheny has been lauded as “one of the most emotionally expressive improvisers of his generation” (International Review of Music). An honors graduate of Berklee College of Music, Dmitri Matheny vaulted onto the jazz scene in the 1990s as the protégé of jazz legend Art Farmer. Since then he has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal international following, releasing twelve CDs and touring extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. The San Francisco Chronicle calls Matheny “one of the jazz world’s most talented horn players.”
