Info for André Lépine: Feuille au vent

This album contains 40 years of my short musical pieces, reflecting many of my influences. In this day and age, the mix of genres represented here will surprise no one. Inspiration is a mystery, like a dictation we receive from another plane of existence. I’m not the first to say this; I’m simply echoing it. I hope that as you listen to this album, you’ll be as blown away as I was when I received the dictations that make it up. And I hope you’ll be just as blown away as I was by Matt’s sublime performance and improvisations. – André Lépine

Matt Herskowitz, piano

Matt Herskowitz
Uniquely combining the superlative technique of a classical virtuoso with his prowess in jazz, world music and free improvisation, pianist, composer and arranger Matt Herskowitz has carved out a unique and personal voice in music. Over the course of the last decade, Matt has produced a series of critically-acclaimed recordings, premiered his works in settings from New York’s Central Park to Germany’s Köln Philharmonie, collaborated with top classical, jazz and pop artists, and has performed at music festivals across the globe.

A classical pianist for over 20 years, Matt’s interest in jazz began while studying at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, where he ‘apprenticed’ with seasoned jazz musicians performing in bars and jazz clubs. At age 30, Matt moved to Montreal and decided to focus on jazz, with a detour into pop music along the way with the celebrated pop diva Lara Fabian. His focus soon shifted to his own compositions, combining his experience in jazz, pop and “World” music with his skills in contemporary classical composition and performance. But his love for classical music never left him, and in 2013 he began making innovative arrangements of classical pieces in a variety of jazz styles, all while retaining the integrity of the original pieces, something uniquely suited to him as being equally versed in both genres.

This album contains no booklet.
