Rick VanMatre is one of the most exploratory saxophonists on the current jazz scene and has presented solo recitals and jazz club performances in the US, Europe, Israel, Brazil, China, and Thailand. He also has performed with such diverse artists as the Duke Ellington Orchestra led by Mercer Ellington, the Woody Herman Orchestras directed by Frank Tiberi, Manhattan Transfer, John Pizzarelli, Rosemary Clooney, Roland Vazquez’s contemporary Latin groups, John McNeil, Tim Hagans, Gene Bertoncini, and as a concerto soloist with the New York Repertory Orchestra, Sichuan Symphony Orchestra (China), and Illinois Philharmonic. He is well-known to Greater Cincinnati audiences for his performances with the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestras, Linton Series, concert:nova, PsychoAcoustic Orchestra, and as former Director of UC’s College-Conservatory of Music Jazz Concert Series.

Rick’s newest ensemble presents the sound of progressive original jazz along with a unique treatment of well-known tunes. On piano is Billboard award-winning recording artist Kim Pensyl, on vibes is virtuoso Rusty Burge, and on bass and drums are two of the most significant voices among today's young musicians, Aaron Jacobs and Tom Buckley. Known for both powerful and sensitive interaction, the ensemble always provides creative surprises! Their new CD “Lines Above” will be released in the spring on Summit Records.
