END OF THE YEAR ROUND-UP

A couple of weeks ago my December looked somewhat empty ... but a few gigs have come in and now I'm really looking forward to the next few weeks.

This Saturday, December 5th, I'll be at Tula's with Thomas Marriott's Quartet. The group features Rick Mandyck on piano and Phil Sparks on bass.

The following week I'll be performing with both Susan Pascal's Quartet performing the music of the Modern Jazz Quartet and then down to Olympia for a homecoming gig for now-NYC pianist Travis Shook.

Thurs, Dec 10: with Susan Pascal Quartet, Art of Jazz - Seattle Art Museum, 5:30 - 7:30pm
Friday, Dec 11: with Susan Pascal Quartet, Tula's Jazz Club, Seattle, 8:00pm
Saturday, Dec 12: with Travis Shook Trio, The United Churches of Olympia (110 11th Ave. SW., Olympia, WA), 7:30pm

The big event in December will be Hadley Caliman's CD Release Party for his new CD, Straight Ahead.

Saturday, December 19 - TULA'S JAZZ CLUB
2214 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA 98121
8:00pm, $15.00
Reservations: 206-443-4221

Also in December, Travis Shook, Jeff Johnson, Thomas Marriott and myself will head into the studio with NYC trumpeter Ray Vega to record Thomas and Ray's Two Trumpet CD. Just got the music in the mail so I'm excited to going on the recording. Right after the New Year this group will head to Switzerland for a 5-day run at Marian's Jazz Room in Bern.

Then it is back to the States for a week and then back to Europe as I have three gigs with guitarist Christian Eckert in Germany before I head to Cannes, France, for the MIDEM show.

As always, check the Tour Dates page for all the latest info.

ALL ABOUT JAZZ.COM - Review
It's been a four-year span between 2004's Hope and 2008's Another Morning, but Matt Jorgensen + 451 have made it worth the wait. Another fine and distinctive outing, with the adventure factor up a couple of notches.

THE STRANGER - Review
With Another Morning (Origin), Matt Jorgensen+451 continue their pathbreaking combination of jazz, rock, and funk, all without succumbing to the excesses of yore: aimless solos, straitjacketed arrangements, and second-rate riffs. My favorite track, "Lock Down," begins with Ryan Burns laying down some serene electric piano chords but a sequence of ascending harmonies takes over, giving the tune a yearning, Pet Sounds–era Brian Wilson feel. Fine solos by everyone in the band follow, but the real treat is Jorgensen. Tapping, poking, and stabbing the cymbals, Jorgensen serves as a subtle co-colorist, pushing and prodding with microscopic licks that keep the whole thing together.

CAN I JUST SAY, THIS GUY ROCKS!

NEW RECORDING ... BACK ON THE ROAD

Just finished two days of tracking for my new CD which will be out in early-2010. We recorded 9 original tunes all inspired by the paintings of Dale Chisman. In the coming weeks I'll write more about the project, but it was a bit of a departure from my previous recordings.

The recording features Thomas Marriott (trumpet), Mark Taylor (saxophone), Corey Christiansen (guitar), Dave Captein (bass) and myself. We recorded at Two Sticks Audio in Seattle again with Don Gunn and everything came off exceptionally well ... minus the few tranpositional errors on my chart writing, but that was all cleared up quickly. In the coming weeks we are adding string quartet parts to a couple of the tunes (see ... I told you it was a departure!) and then just mixing and mastering. The release will be in conjunction with Dale Chisman's Retropective in Denver this January.

In other news, heading out for a week with Corey Christiansen this Thursday ... if you are in southern Idaho or Salt Lake City we should have some cool shows.

Just got some of the rough mixes from the Thomas Marriott CD we did a few months ago so that is shaping up to be a great record. The Richard Cole CD featuring Randy Brecker will be coming out in early-2010 in addition to the new Hadley Caliman CD so this is going to be a fun winter.

SEPTEMBER HAPPENINGS

It has been a while since I posted an update ... so here we go.

I'm headed into the studio this weekend to record a new CD for Origin Records. This is a new project featuring Thomas Marriott (trumpet), Corey Christiansen (guitar), Dave Captein (bass) and some special guests. We are recording all original music inspired by the paintings of Dale Chisman and will be release in January 2010.

I'll be performing at Tula's with Travis Shook on September 9, then recording, and at the end of September I'll be out on a few dates with Corey Christiansen.

October looks to be busy with a few Earshot Jazz Festival gigs and a trip to Canada with Ian Hendrickson-Smith. Check the Tour Dates page for all the latest info.

NEW THOMAS MARRIOTT RECORD

Thomas Marriott spent two days at Avast Ironwood in April recording tracks for two up-coming CDs. John Bishop played on the first album and I did the second with Thomas, Gary Versace (organ) and Mark Taylor (saxophone). Look for this to come out at some point in 2010.

MARCH - APRIL

Just got back from a short tour with Corey Christiansen to Atlanta, Bloomington and St. Louis.

As always, check the Tour Dates page for a couple of great gigs coming up. Hadley Caliman this weekend, the end of April The Ballard Jazz Festival, then to Denver with Corey Christiansen, Vancouver with Thomas Marriott and back to Seattle for a couple nights at Jazz Alley with Eric Alexander.

WELCOME 2009

I know it has been a while since I updated my site. Lots of stuff happening so I haven't had much time to update.

Just finished three days in the studio with the Jim Knapp Orchestra at the legendary London Bridge Studios with Rick Parasher (Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains) producing. This was the first time that I've recorded a studio album with a big band so it was fun to experience all the ins-and-outs of getting such a large group on tape. And you can see by the photo my drumset had quite a bit of work done on it.

In February I had a session at Glen Sound in Seattle with saxophonist Richard Cole. We finished up his new CD which should be out later this year and also recorded a few tunes for his next CD.

This Sunday I leave for a week long tour of clinics and performances with guitarist Corey Christiansen. Check the tour dates page for more information, but here are the quick details:

March 9: Atlanta Institue of Music, Atlanta, GA
March 10: Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA
March 11: Indiana Univeristy, Bloomington, ID
March 12: with Corey Christiansen, The Bear's Place, Bloomington, IN
March 13: with Corey Christiansen, Meramac College, St. Louis, MO

NEW HADLEY CALIMAN RECORDING

November seemed to fly by.

Just finished a session at Two Sticks Audio in Seattle for a new Hadley Caliman CD for sometime in 2009. Hadley, Thomas Marriott and I were in Denver a few weeks ago and Hadley sounds amazing these days. It was a pleasure to play on the new record. Look for in in the coming months on Origin Records.

The Ballard Jazz Walk was held on a Thursday in November and once again it featured an incredible night of music. Visit the Ballard Jazz Festival website for photos.

IN DENVER THIS WEEK / BALLARD JAZZ WALK

I'm in Denver this weekend playing with Hadley Caliman and Thomas Marriott at Dazzle Jazz Club.

Next week I'll be performing at The Ballard Jazz Walk on Thursday, November 20th. After that it is off to Portland with Chad McCullough and Geof Bradfield and then back to Seattle to record with Hadley Caliman

GREAT GIGS COMING UP

Back in Seattle for a day. Finished a couple of great gigs with Eric Alexander and getting ready to head out for two gigs with Bill Mays' Trio and then back to Seattle for a Hadley Caliman show at the Earshot Festival.

Check the Gigs page for all the latest events.

NICE BUMBERSHOOT PREVIEW

This weekend I'll be performing at the Bumbershoot Festival of the Arts with both my group and Hadley Caliman. The Stranger has a nice preview of our show:

Seattle drummer Matt Jorgensen leads +451, a quartet of deft jazz studs who excel at the cool, understated approach instigated by Miles Davis, but he and his crew also draw in influences from rockers like Radiohead and the Beatles. Jorgensen’s a subtly kinetic sticksman, and his mates on saxophones, bass, and Fender Rhodes forge compelling melodies that range from grandiose to intimate. - DAVE SEGAL

For more information on the Bumbershoot show, click here.

This weekend I'll also be performing with Thomas Marriott at the Anacortes Jazz Festival. Check out the Gigs page for all the latest info.

NEW PHOTOS AND UPDATES

Just finished posting two new photo galleries from April's Ballard Jazz Festival

Sam Yahel Trio on the Mainstage
Matt Jorgensen's Little Big Band at Brotherhood of the Drum

And on the recording news, in addition to the two new CDs that I listed below ... just got a copy of the final mixes from Thomas Marriott's new CD, Flexicon, which should come out at some point in 2009.

The recording features Thomas, Mark Taylor, Joe Locke, Bill Anschell, Jeff Johnson and myself (see photo right). Don Gunn did the final mixes and it sounds great. Thinking back on the session I don't really remember much because I showed up that morning really sick and didn't get over whatever I had for about three weeks after that which included Hadley Caliman's CD release party and a week-long 451 tour. So I was thrilled when I heard all the music because it is an amazing sounding record.

FESTIVAL NEWS

Just got back from a quick trip to Portland to play the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival with 451. We are playing next at the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle on Sunday, August 31. I'll also be performing with Hadley Caliman's Quintet so check out a great afternoon of music.

The night before, August 30, I'll be at the Anacortes Jazz Festival with Thomas Marriott and organist Ron Weinstein. The ultimate bummer for me is that I got called to play with Dr. Lonnie Smith on August 31, but because of Bumbershoot I wasn't able to make it. John Bishop will do a great job holding down the drum chair and my friend guitarist Corey Christiansen is playing guitar so it will be great.

TWO NEW RECORDINGS

I'm on a couple of new recordings that will be hitting store shelves soon.

Guitarist Corey Christiansen's new CD is called Roll With It and it will be out on Origin Records in September. This was one of the easiest sessions I've ever been a part of. David Halliday on saxophone and Pat Bianchi on organ. Never played with either of them before and when I sat down to play with Pat it was soooo groovin'!

Corey and I will be playing in Chicago with Scott Burns (saxophone) and Pete Benson (organ) as part of the Origin Records Chicago Jazz Summit on Saturday, September 27 at Andy's Jazz Cafe. Plus there will be tons of other gigs coming up so be on the lookout for this disc.

Last Wednesday I sat in on a couple tunes for Kelley Johnson's CD release party for Home. I can't remember how many tunes I recorded but three of them ended up on the CD. So checkout Kelley's site for this disc.

DRUM LESSONS

I've been doing a bit of teaching as of late and I have space available for 2 students. If you are in Seattle and want to take a lesson ... send me an email.

BACK FROM SAN FRANCISCO ... NEW 451 REVIEW

Just got back from a weekend at Jazz at Pearl's in San Francisco with saxophonist Hadley Caliman. A great weekend of music and it was great to spend a few days in San Francisco ... I haven't been down there since 2005 so it had been far too long.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show.

On the 451 front ... Another Morning was just named JAZZ CD OF THE WEEK by George FM in Australia.

It is instantly apparent that the band have worked together for best part of the last decade, they are a tight unit. The interaction is seamless and uncanny and they instinctively know when to hold back during solos. The jazz style is split roughly 50 /50 between straight jazz and fusion. Not that genres matter too much with this release, the music does the talking.

You can read the full review here.

REVIEWS

A couple of new reviews for Another Morning just came in, including my first review in JazzTimes Magazine.

So then I read the first paragraph ... On the Seattle quartet's first recording since Hope in 2004, Matt jorgensen + 451 continues to explore a particular brand of jazz-rock fusion that is more subtle than your average pounding, thrashing, over-the-top variety. However, leader Jorgensen's fiery and excessively busy drumming often overwhelms and distracts from the group sound as well as the soloists.

Overall the reviews for Another Morning have been great so that's one where I just shrugg and move on. Because no matter what JazzTimes says, I always have this review from Dick Crockett:

Another Morning is your answer to the other side of funk where Jersey City is fading mythology, and space mountain is the new anthology, where Santa Cruz women prefer hair on their legs than a full body wax, where odor is an essence of nirvana.

What does this mean? I have no clue ... but it sure sounds cool!

NEW PHOTOS ADDED

It has been a while since I've updated the Photos Gallery so I'm slowing going through the backlog of photos and putting them up on the site.

Here is a start ... take a look at these galleries

NEW BOOK FEATURES PHOTOS OF MATT JORGENSEN +451

Philadelphia photographer Tom Priemon has published a new book of photographs entitled, “Inner Circle,” documenting a performance by Matt Jorgensen +451 at the Grand Illusion Theater in 2003.

From the promo material for the book:
“Inner Circle” with Matt Jorgensen + 451 is a visual music composition using the medium of Photonality. In Photonality the camera acts as an additional instument within the performance, moving in, out and around an axis.

You can read more about the book here.

THE DRUMMER LUNCH FEATURED IN DRUM MAGAZINE

Every Monday afternoon a bunch of drummers in Seattle gather for lunch. One of our lunch regulars, Bill Rieflin, was featured in the May issue of Drum Magazine and there is a short mention of the lunch.

If you play drums, and are in Seattle ... send me an email and I'll put you on the list.

Also, I'll be posting some photos from our drummer lunch soon so check back.

BUNCH OF REVIEWS FOR ANOTHER MORNING:

Check out the Reviews Page for all the latest Another Morning CD reviews from The Seattle Times, All About Jazz, All Music Guide, The Stranger and more!

And then there is this one ... PROBABLY THE BEST REVIEW EVER!

From Dick Crockett, Bopin' Dick's 10 Picks:
Another Morning Is your answer to the other side of funk where Jersey City is fading mythology, and space mountain is the new anthology, where Santa Cruz women prefer hair on their legs than a full body wax, where odor is an essence of nirvana.

Drummer Jorgensen has assembled a cast of Ryan Burns, keyboards, Mark Taylor saxophones, Phil Sparks, bass to further the new funk muse of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

THANK YOU!

Thank you to everyone who attended on of our recent shows on tour. We will be posting photos shortly so check back for those.

We will be doing some more shows in the near future so check back with the Tour Dates page for the latest info.

FEATURED IN THE SEATTLE TIMES

It’s hard to imagine Seattle jazz these days without drummer Matt Jorgensen.

One of the partners behind Origin Records, not to mention the Ballard Jazz Festival, seattlejazzscene.com, Sunday jazz at the Hendrix Lounge (in Columbia City) … this guy never seems to run out of projects.

This week, however, is not about Jorgensen the playa, but the player. Thursday, the 35-year-old dynamo celebrates the release of “Another Morning” (Origin), the new album by his group, Matt Jorgensen + 451. But he’s also on the other two best jazz tickets in town.

“It’s rare that I get to do three really cool gigs in a week,” said Jorgensen in a phone interview from his car. “After that, 451’s going out on the road for a week, then I’m getting ready for the Ballard Festival. I’ll figure out the rest from there.”

BACK FROM SALT LAKE

Just got back from recording a new record with guitarist Corey Christiansen along with Dave Halliday on saxophone and Paul Bianchi on B3 organ. We recorded 14 tunes in 2 days and it looks like there will be enough material for two up-coming releases on Origin Records. Had a blast recording and the music Corey wrote for the session was killing!

Now that I'm back in Seattle ... 451 is rehearsing this week for our up-coming show at the Portland Jazz Festival this Friday.

Also, just got the charts for the recording session next week with Thomas Marriott and Joe Locke. Thomas is writing some great music and it should be a blast.

I'm heading to Salt Lake City, UT, in February to spend a weekend in the studio with guitarist Corey Christiansen for a 2008 Origin Records release.

Just finished recording 5 tracks with saxophonist Richard Cole. Also featured on the date with Randy Brecker on trumpet so that was an absolute treat! Rich just had a new CD come out this November so it will probably be a while before these tracks come out.

The record I did with vocalist Kelley Johnson has been mixed so that will be out sometime in 2008 as well.

BALLARD JAZZ WALK THIS FRIDAY

I'll be at the Ballard Jazz Walk this Friday night, November 30th, performing at the Sunset Tavern first with Chicago guitarist John McLean and then with Thomas Marriott's Willie Nelson Project. For more information and tickets, goto http://ballardjazzfestival.com

I was recently interviewed in the Seattle Times about the jazz walk which you can read here.

Also, The Seattle Channel did a profile and John Bishop and myself about 10 years of Origin Records and the festival, etc ... watch the video on the Ballard Jazz Festival Video Player.

SEATTLE JAZZ SHOWCASE CONTINUES

If you live in Seattle and like jazz, make sure and check out Seattle Jazz Scene online. Their Seattle Jazz Showcase continues this week and on until November 1st so make sure and catch a show!

Next week I'm participating in a Jazz Think Tank sponsored by Chamber Music America. It will be held at McCaw Hall in Seattle and a bunch of people from across the country are coming to Seattle to discuss the state of jazz. So by the end of next week I think we'll have it all solved so stay tuned!

Just finished mixing the new Matt Jorgensen +451 CD and it sounds pretty amazing. All the performances are great. We recorded it at Two Sticks Audio and worked with engineer Don Gunn for the first time and the whole process has been great. We have a couple of shows booked in 2008 with more being announced soon ... but look for us at the Triple Door Mainspace, The Portland Jazz Festival and the Gene Harris Jazz Festival.

GIVE ME MONEY!

I'm going to be helping out with the KBCS Pledge Drive on Thursday, Oct 4th, from 8-9am. Please call up and lend your support to KBCS ... the only station in Seattle that plays my recordings.

If we meet our goal for the hour I'm going to World Premier a track from my new disc that will be out in March 2008.

NEW 451 CD RECORDED

Just spent two days recording the new 451 record at Two Sticks Studios in Seattle. We got a lot of good stuff and it is mostly original material along with arrangements of Joe Henderson's "Power To The People," The Beatles' "Helter Skelter" and Neil Young's "Ohio". We are now mixing with Don Gunn and should be done here in the next couple of weeks. It is slated for a February or March 2008 release on Origin Records and we'll be doing some shows when it comes out.

Thomas Marriott's new Willie Nelson Project is also finished and it will be coming out around the same time. We just got it back from mastering and it sounds really good so we are all excited about that as well.

Speaking of Thomas Marriott ... I have a string of gigs this weekend. Thursday at Interbay and then we are off to Yakima for a gig with his Quintet and then a night of the Willie Nelson music. In September I'm heading to Atlanta and Savannah with Thomas for gigs. Check the Tour Dates page for more info.

Also finished a new CD with vocalist Kelley Johnson so that should be released some time in 2008 as well.
