Matthew Banks ensembles

Exceptionally dressed professional musicians performing the finest American music of the last century at the highest possible quality, adapting our volume, repertoire, and style to whatever YOU wish

Hello! My name is Matthew Banks, and I'm a Dallas based Jazz clarinetist. While clarinet (all sizes) is my primary, I also play all saxophones, oboe, and bassoon. Jazz, especially trad/early jazz of the 20s and 30s is my first love, but I also play Polka, Klezmer, Latin Jazz, Fusion, and pop music. I can perform in any format from solo to big band, and cherish every opportunity providence gives me to blow my horn! I look forward to working with and for you, for whatever your musical needs may be

A sound system is nice but not required. If a large sound system is required but not provided an additional fee may be requested. I have a heavy preference for spaces that have an acoustic, baby grand, or grand piano on site, but this is not required. I tend to run my own sound but will happily work with any sound tech
