Mendelssohn Presents!
Composer/bassist/bandleader Matt Ulery has established himself as an icon at the intersection of Chicago jazz and contemporary composition. His ensemble takes this craft to new heights, elegantly orchestrating a cohort of woodwinds and brass over his core trio of bass, piano, and drums. While “calm with a soulful undertow” and “a tour-de-force crash course on everything Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus” (All About Jazz), perhaps the most notable aspect of his music is the cool, confident, sheer beauty
