Description

Although best known as a flugelhorn player, Dmitri Matheny is also a prolific composer and lyricist whose published compositions span the jazz, popular, symphonic, choral, chamber and world music genres. Celebrated for his warm romantic tone, soaring lyricism and masterful technique, Matheny was first introduced to jazz audiences in the 1980s as the protégé of flugelhorn legend Art Farmer (with whom he studied privately for ten years). Now hailed as "the first breakthrough flugelhornist since Chuck Mangione" (San Jose Mercury News), Dmitri Matheny comes to Yoshi’s Oakland in support of his latest release Best of Dmitri Matheny, which brings together 14 of Dmitri's most popular songs -- jazz radio hits, fan favorites, and frequent requests -- from each of his previous recordings, plus a brand new bonus track, "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," featuring saxophonist Dave Ellis. http://dmitrimatheny.com
