NYC Drummer, Composer, Bandleader & Educator Matt Kane on the 2018 CD The Other Side of the Story

Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Hannibal, MO-born, New York City Jazz Drummer, Artist, Composer, Bandleader & Educator Matt Kane..  This 47-year-old journey jazz cat is at a point in his career where he takes charge from behind the drums, as a jazz artist, composer, and bandleader. The Other Side of the Story is his 4th Album and the first with entirely original compositions from a guy who grew up surrounded by corn fields in Hannibal, Missouri, idolized Tom Sawyer, and played his first gig as a teen aboard a riverboat on the Mississippi. The new project is produced by legendary drummer Michael Carvin and features three fellow Midwesterners: Peter Schlamb on vibraphone, Vic Jerus on guitar, and Mark Peterson on bass, as well as Klaus Mueller on piano. The new album contains a wide swath of rhythm, not just the traditional jazz rhythm folks are used to. He talked to Neon Jazz at length about this project ..
