Matt Tolentino
Matt Tolentino, who shares a birthday with Fred Astaire, was born May 10, 1985 in Dallas, TX. He was not born 80 years too late—rather, he is placed in the perfect time—the present day—to preserve the music of generations past, to bring the music of yesterday to the modern audience of today. Music has always been at the center of Matt's life. His father played saxophone and piano in his younger days, in a band comprised of neighborhood boys. Through his dad he first learned to love jazz, and at the age of 7 claimed Henry Busse to be one of his favorites. When he was 8, he was given a copy of the album, 'Shakin' the Blues Away,' recorded by the Coffee Club Orchestra, the then-16 piece house band of radio's 'A Prairie Home Companion.' The album was comprised of pop tunes from the 1920s and early 1930s, and was his first exposure of the niche music he now performs
