Musician

Matthew Muñeses

Matthew Muñeses is a saxophonist and educator residing in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Although his introduction to music came through violin lessons at the age of six, music would not take a serious role in his life until he began playing the saxophone four years later.

Matthew received his B.M. in Saxophone Performance at Illinois State University in 2011 and his M.M. in Jazz Performance at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2013. During this time, Matthew studied with Dana Hall, Chip McNeill, Ron Bridgewater, Tito Carrillo, and Chip Stephens.

In the subsequent years, Matthew has garnered recognition as an up and coming talent by winning or being named as a finalist in multiple educational and open competitions, including the Jazz Society of the Philippines competition and the Kate Neal Kinley Memorial Fellowship. In 2015, Matthew participated in an invitation-only workshop with Steve Coleman and the Five Elements at the University of Chicago. Through this workshop, he was afforded the opportunity to study with and perform alongside Steve Coleman and members of his band, including Jonathan Finlayson and Miles Okazaki.

Read "Pag-Ibig Ko Vol. 1" reviewed by Alberto Bazzurro


Un latino e una filippina, peraltro entrambi nati e cresciuti negli Stati Uniti, confezionano questo singolare album che affianca due strumenti ben di rado abbinati, specie in una musica di ispirazione jazzistica (ma ovunque, diremmo: di primo acchito ci viene in mente solo un duo di Anthony Braxton con Jacqueline Kerrod di non molti anni or ...
