Musical Style: Original Jazz/World Fusion
This one-of-a-kind group from Denver performs the original music of Matt Skellenger. The group’s instrumentation is a unique mixture of acoustic instruments that are centuries old(Tabla, Ghatam, Cajon, Trumpet, Trombone, Drums, Conch Shell), with modern electric instruments and effects(Electric Bass, Pedal Steel Guitar, Effects Pedals). The music blends jazz, world, funk, rock, and fusion influences to create a sound unlike anything you have heard.
Born and raised in Denver, CO., Matt has been composing, performing, recording, and teaching in Colorado for 32 years. Matt earned a B.A. in Music from Metro State University in 2002 where he studied with the great Ron Miles. Ron was an original member of the Skellenger group from 2006-2014, and he is featured on the group's first 3 albums. Matt has also studied with world renowned bassist and educator Victor Wooten. In addition to leading his own sextet, Skellenger performs in solo, duo, and trio formats and in the Grown A$$ Man Band. He has also been a music teacher at Swallow Hill since 2008. Since 2009, Matt Skellenger Group has released 6 albums of original music. All 6 release parties have been at Dazzle. The most recent release, Subspace Transmission, was released on 3/8/23 and is dedicated to Ron Miles. This performance will feature a mix of old and new tunes from the Skellenger catalog.
