Adam Matlock

I’m very excited to be performing on piano and voice with Carl Testa’s Sway ensemble, also featuring Anne Rhodes on voice, Yuma Uesaka on clarinets, Lou Guarino Jr. on trumpet, and Carl Testa on Bass and electronics. Next Sunday at the Hartford public Library!

FREE!, Register here Jazz Performance By Carl Testa's Sway

Playing at Zlatne Uste Golden Festival tonight! At 730 PM with the Harris Brothers Balkan Band and at 1205 AM with Orkestar BAM. I'm also playing the after party on Sunday At around 5:30 At Drom.

The question of "Just how many bands are you in?" comes up for me every so often, so here's the current answer:
An Historic (Singer-songwriter-ish)
Dr. Caterwauls (trad/pop deconstructions)
Orkestar BAM (Balkan)
The Harris Brothers Balkan Band (Balkan)
The Yale Klezmer Band (Klezmer)
Nahadoth (Dungeon Synth - studio only)
GZARA (Dark Ambient/Drone/Free Jazz - studio only at this point)

In addition to the various things I do under my own name. So now we all know.

Come to Neighborhood Music School Friday, November 11th, at 7PM - for a concert featuring Sambaleeza, a Klezmer Duo with myself and Mike Tepper, and the drumming ensemble of Tatchol Camara.

Gapplegate Music Review: Adam Matlock, Lungfiddle

Some nice words about "Lungfiddle" from the Gapplegate Music Review: Check it out below! The world of music is lucky to have Grego Edwards writing about it :

gapplegatemusicreview.blogspot.com The blog covers releases in the areas of free and mainstream jazz, world music, "art" rock, and the blues. Classical coverage, which was originally here, continues on the Gapplegate Classical-Modern Review (see link on this page). Where are we right now and how did we get here? That's the concern.

"...Lungfiddle is a stunning achievement", says Clifford Allen of the New York City Jazz Record! Look for the review online or in their June print issue, and if you're in the NYC area , please come out to Soup & Sound on June 25th for the release show!

Getting very excited for Saturday's release show at Never Ending Books in New Haven, CT. The duo of Anne Rhodes and Chris Cretella is also on the bill. Preparation this week has basically been one steady improvisation that began Monday morning and continues even as I type. Show starts at 8PM!

A few upcoming shows of note:
Thursday April 28th (tonight!) - clarinet with Zahtie's Bathtub Gin, at Best Video, Hamden, CT. 8:00PM.

Sunday, May 1st - with Curmudgeon Corner + James Ilgenfritz, plus Ilgenfritz/Lee/Chase and Matthew Goodheart, The Firehouse Space, Brooklyn, NY. 8:00 PM.

Saturday, May 14th - Uncertainty Music Series - Lungfiddle release show! Also featuring Rhodes/Cretella duo. Never Ending Books, New Haven, CT. 8:00PM.
