About Me
Matthew Silberman's musical experience began in utero, attending his
mother's opera performances and rehearsals. He began his formal
musical training with the piano and the clarinet, eventually falling in love
with the saxophone at 13.
He grew up by the beach in Santa Monica, CA., and was thoroughly
influenced by the infinite and timeless nature of the ocean. After
attending the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, Matthew
traded the expansive beaches of California for the steel geometry of
New York City. He attended the New School University Jazz and
Contemporary Music Program, and currently resides in Brooklyn.
Matthew has performed with Billy Higgins, Nancy Wilson, Roy Hargrove,
Robert Hurst, Gregory Tardy, the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra,
Patrice Rushen, Bobby Sanabria, and contemporaries such as Logan
Richardson, Tommy Crane, Greg Ruggiero, Frank LoCrasto, Chris
Tordini, Jonathan Finlayson, Tyshawn Sorey, Mike Pinto, Becca
Stevens, Nir Felder, and Alan Hampton among many others.
He has also recorded with Mike Moreno, Elizabeth & the Catapult,
Warren Cuccurullo, Krystle Warren, and Fisticuffs, whom he also
composed with for Miguel. He recently collaborated in composing and
recording music for the 2011 BET Honors Awards with Fisticuffs as well.
Matthew recently recorded his debut album as a leader, which will be out
later in 2012. He leads his own band, Press Play, and is a member of
Merry Poppins, The Prigs, Brian Bonz & the Major Crimes, and Krystle
Warren & the Faculty.
