SNOHOMISH — Not too familiar with the flugelhorn?
Here’s a chance to see one of the country’s best “Big Horn” players.
The San Francisco Bay-based Dmitri Matheny Group will perform at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 8 at the Tim Noah Thumbnail Theater, 1211 Fourth St. in Snohomish.
Matheny (no relation to Pat Metheny) attended the prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan and then graduated magna cum laude in 1989 from the Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Matheny’s warm tone on the flugelhorn, his masterful technique and his soulful sound have earned him comparisons to Miles Davis, Chet Baker and his teacher, the legendary Art Farmer.
Matheny’s group is an all-star ensemble featuring some of the most accomplished jazz musicians in the West.
The Dmitri Matheny Group — featuring Bill Anschell (piano), Phil Sparks (bass), and Mark Ivester (drums) — will perform a mix of fresh originals, familiar jazz classics, hard bop, West Coast cool and familiar standards from the Great American Songbook.
The group is about to record an 11th album — a fresh spin on film noir, crime jazz and timeless classics — called “Jazz Noir,” so the audience probably can expect to hear some of those tunes as well.
Tickets are $15 for general admission or $10 for those age 18 and younger and are avaiable at the door or in advance at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information, call 360-568-9412.
