December 1, 2025Matt was on time, professional, a wonderful player, kind, and polite. I would definitely book him again. We hired him to play at our apartment for a 20 person party which was a great format.

May 28, 2025Matt is a joy to have around and his music really elevated our figure drawing evening. He was responsible and punctual, brought all his own gear, and had a wide repertoire that was able to adapt to and match the vibe of our event, ranging from classic stride hits to more ambient interpretive music. Everyone had a great experience with him and I would recommend him for any type of event.

May 22, 2025Matt played at a dinner party event last minute after we had a cancellation, and he did NOT disappoint. He was professional, easy to work with, and I love how his music helped create the chill, jazzy atmosphere we were looking for. I'd definitely bring Matt back for this and other events!!
