Thanks for stopping by.

Some new lessons are up on the lessons page, as well as some new recordings on the music page.

Looks like a little self-imposed gigging hiatus is in order, as I became a proud papa this past November 16th! I'm gradually adjusting to our "new normal," and in the meantime spending whatever time I can in the shed.

I'm starting a (hopefully) weekly jazz blog here to talk about improvisation, jazz, jazz education, and music education in general...please check back for updates and feel free to send ideas for topics to jeffreymatz@comcast.net

I'm also in the process of getting set up for lessons via Skype-- hopefully up and running by the summer. 

Jeff Matz is a Chicago-based jazz guitarist and educator.
