Matt Anderson

Biography

Tenor-saxophonist Matt Anderson graduated from Leeds College of Music’s BA (Hons) Jazz degree course in 2010 with First Class Honours, as well as being awarded the Sam Hood Rosebowl for Outstanding Performance (Jazz).

Since graduating, Matt has been busy as a professional freelance musician working across the U.K., and was awarded ‘Young Musician of the Year’ in the Jazz Yorkshire Awards 2010.

Matt is heavily experienced in performing in all kinds of situations. For example, his list of past corporate clients includes HSBC, CBI, BT, Logistik, Lawrence Scofield and many more, and he has also played at countless private weddings, parties and dinners. Matt has performed at many of the country’s top jazz clubs including Charlie Wright’s, London, The Yardbird, Birmingham and The Wardrobe, Leeds.

Depending on clients’ wishes, Matt is able to perform/provide the following set-ups:

- solo or as part of a duo (saxophone and guitar)

- trio (saxophone, guitar and double-bass)

- quartet (saxophone, guitar, double-bass and drums)

The smaller ensembles such as the solo, duo and trio have the advantage of a very small footprint, great flexibility and short set-up times, while the larger quartet is great for making more of an impact.
