Matt Savage - Bigger Celebration

"A Bigger Celebration" is a celebration of life and youth. It's my most ambitious album to date, with many fast and upbeat pieces, a couple of pop-influenced tunes (on which I play electronic keyboards for the first time), and even some multi-part compositions. You can take "A Bigger Celebration" to the beach, play it in the car, or add it to your party playlist. The album commemorates an important juncture in my life; it was recorded after a year of intense studying and touring that ended with my college graduation. I was ready to break out and celebrate, and I hope that comes through in the music. Boston jazz greats Jerry Bergonzi (tenor sax) and Bruce Gertz (bass) join me on this recording, along with drummer Richie Barshay (who has toured with Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea). Mark Zaleski is a special guest on alto and soprano saxophones. This album features ten songs, all of which are originals. Hope you enjoy it!
