The Matt Smith Neu Jazz Trio with The Jonathan Rowden Group

One night, two bands! 98 Bottles is proud to present The Matt Smith Neu Jazz Trio and The Jonathan Rowden Group, live in The Back Room!

The Matt Smith Neu Jazz Trio is one of the newest and most notable jazz trios to hit the San Diego jazz scene. Formed in January 2013, this trio has jumped musical leaps and bounds to find music they are all proud of. The songs on their debut album "Shorthanded" are compositions of drummer/trombonist Matt Smith.

The Jonathan Rowden Group is a new instrumental quartet that smashes through traditional dichotomies between form and freedom. At the core of their ethos is a honed interplay between structured, original composition and free improvisation that is a tumultuous balance between fever pitched madness, tender spiritual softness, the absurd, and the profound. Their eclectic synthesis of styles and forms spans the emotional gamut from serene calmness to brutalizing intensity, and has quickly deemed them to be among Los Angeles' most distinctive, cohesive, and original new voices.

The Jonathan Rowden Group will hit the stage at 7, followed by an exciting performance from The Matt Smith New Jazz Trio!
