Matthew Golombisky bassist&composer__________________________________
Matthew Golombisky is an active bassist, composer, conductor, improviser, radio DJ (WNUR 89.3FM) and presenter in Chicago. He also directs the community collective known as “ears&eyes”, which “represents” bands such as Silences Sumire, Maurice, Box 3, Zing!, Pedway, James Davis Quintet, Algernon, among others and curates an annual music/arts/film festival under the same name. He’s excited to present performers Eleventh Dream Day, The Eternals, Parts & Labor, Fred Lonberg-Holm’s Zenith Works, Mike Reed’s People, Places and Things, L’Altra, David Daniell/Doug McComb Duo, among others, at this year’s ears&eyes Festival. His undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Asheville led a B.A. in Jazz Studies/Bass Performance and graduate studies to a M.M. in Composition from the University of New Orleans after a brief stint at Northwestern University after Hurricane Katrina swept through New Orleans in August 2005. He continues to dedicate much energy to presenting wonderful, original and creative music through several groups including his 30 piece jazz/classical/rock ensemble, Tomorrow Music Orchestra. He also frequently performs with electric jazz-rock quintet, Zing!, acoustic free improv trio, Pedway, drums and bass rock out, punk jazz duo, GKduo with long time collaborator, Quin Kirchner, and jazz septet led by trombonists Jeb Bishop and Jeff Albert, Lucky 7s. Currently he is working on a large scale jazz concerto, of sorts, with bassist Larry Grenadier, to be performed by his Tomorrow Music Orchestra. Among loving all of the above, he also loves to drink slow drip, iced coffee with soy milk from PJ’s, but they’re only in New Orleans.
