What better way to welcome the holidays than an evening tucked away in our comfy, candlelit cabaret room with The Dmitri Matheny Group. Drawing from Dmitri’s critically acclaimed holiday album Santa’s Got a Brand New Bag!, the group reimagines seasonal standards with warm, lyrical flugelhorn, intimate ensemble interplay flavored with tenderness, humor, and a subtle swing. Bring friends, tuck into a blanket of sound, and let this close-up jazz performance become part of your holiday tradition.
Acclaimed for his warm tone, soaring lyricism and masterful technique, American flugelhornist Dmitri Mathey has been lauded as “one of the most emotionally expressive improvisers of his generation” (International Review of Music). An honors graduate of the Berklee College of Music, Dmitri Matheny vaulted onto the jazz scene in the 1990s as the protégé of jazz legend Art Farmer. Since then he has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal international following, touring extensively throughout the United States, Europe and Asia, traveling to 19 countries. With over 100 recordings to his credit, Dmitri Matheny has released 12 albums as a leader. His 2022 release "Cascadia", is a reflection of the natural beauty of the Northwest- "an all-star jazz band featuring some of the most accomplished musicians in the western United States” (All About Jazz). The San Francisco Chronicle calls Matheny “one of the jazz world’s most talented horn players.”
