Matthew Silberman: Questionable Creatures

October 28, 2012

The concept of straight-line status quo and normalcy powers plenty of artists along their journey of creation, but saxophonist/composer Matthew Silberman prefers the not-so-normal. The Salvador Dali-esque artwork that accompanies his album, and the population of questionable musical creatures that inhabit his world, are easy-to-read signs that point to a surrealist streak in Silberman's work. But, he isn't an abstract thinker; his music is rooted in rational ideals that just happen to fall outside the boundaries of everyday jazz.
