Since graduating in 2008, Matt has established himself in the Portland jazz scene, leading his own trio as well as playing as a sideman with a variety of local acts. In addition to performing, Matt has also been an in-demand composer and arranger, most recently composing the music for Artists Repertory Theatre's production of We Are Proud to Present a Presentation. Other recent work includes the 2012 PAMTA award-winning musical Recognition, for which he received nominations for Outstanding Orchestration and Best Original Score, and working as Musical Director for the Portland Playhouse's 2014 production of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson.
