Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Jazz Performer, Saxophonist, Vocalist, Pianist, Arranger & Composer Matt Catingub .. He opened up about his new project that is the new 2023 CD Samoa to Sinatra .. His mother Mavis Rivers was nominated as Best New Artist at the very first Grammy Awards. After the nomination, her label mate Frank Sinatra decided to create Reprise Records. The very first female vocalist he signed, whom Sinatra nicknamed his “Swinging Lady”, was Samoan-born Mavis Rivers. As a result, Mavis entered the studio in the late 1960s to record what would be one of the first three initial re- leases on Sinatra’s Reprise Records. Amazingly, Mavis at the time was very pregnant with Matt. This album memorializes her and his connection to jazz. At age 17, he performed and presented his original big band compositions at the Monterey Jazz Festival. As a result of his success he then toured Japan playing with jazz legends Dizzy Gillespie, Thad Jones, and Ruth Brown. He’s got a fascinating story .. Enjoy…
