Bio
For any and all inquiries, booking or otherwise, please contact Matthew White at matthew.e.white@gmail.com. .. .. ..One time we were featured on NPR's "Fresh Air" AND the title track from Dying Will Be Easy was on NPR's "Song of the Day". You can find both of those fine pieces of journalism ..HERE..... .... ..=====..Order All is Gladness in The Kingdom..=====.. .. mailed directly to you with one small payment of $15 + $2.50(s+h) .. .. ...... .... ..Point of Departure.."...well-crafted, episodic compositions delving into Bachian counterpoint and intricate polyrhythms as readily as New Thing-era expressionism and expansive post-minimalist vamps. White's low pitched horn section adds heft to these sweeping charts, counterbalanced by a rhythm section that places as much timbral importance on kaleidoscopic percussion as the traditional trap set." .. .. ..Jazz Review.."...melodies with themes that ravage the soul and occasionally drift into the netherworld." .. .. .. ....====BUY THE DEBUT RECORD FOR $15 (no shipping or nothin')====.... .. .. ...... .. .. ..PopMatters.. .. "...Fight the Big Bull is the best argument out there for small-market jazz innovation." .. "...sonically gigantic." .. "...a rapturously chaotic sound." .. "...great, messy, generous music." .. .. ..TimeOut New York.. .. "...tight ensemble work and appealing humor" .. "...a boisterous, gutbucket sound" .. .. ..TimeOut Chicago.. .. "... a notch above" .. "...beastly" .. .. .. ....====BUY THE DEBUT T-SHIRT FOR $15 (no shipping or nothin)====.... .. XS-XXL and everything in between .. .. ...... .. .. .. A documentary made by the VCU film dept when we were children. Pinson talks about Phil Collins and Bryan seems astonishingly professorial... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
