| BIO |
A Montrealer since 1999, Matt Herskowitz must
henceforth be considered among the essentials of
the Montreal music scene. On this island, very few
pianists acheive the mastery of this graduate of
the Curtis Institute of Music and Juilliard:
dexterity, speed, attack, percussive sense, range
of styles, harmonic mastery and incontestable
international calibre."
.
"Herskowitz forms a superb acoustic power trio
with his colleague David Rozenblatt, an excellent
drummer, and bassist Mat Fieldes, joined
sporadically by trumpeter Lew Soloff and DJ Rémy
Sealey."

Reviews of FORGET ME NOT
. “This is the final straw. I’d better
retire now.” Dave Brubeck, Jazz Pianist
. "a tribute to the harmony of disparate
traditions in the hands of inspired master
musicians."
– The Gazette, Montreal
. "very few pianists achieve the mastery of
this graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music and
Juilliard: dexterity, speed, attack, percussive
sense, range of styles, harmonic mastery and
incontestable international caliber." – La
Presse, Montreal
. "NYC pianist Herskowitz (a Montreal fixture
in recent years) and drummer Rozenblatt need not
fret. This effort is anything but forgettable…
even the most placid moments crackle with quiet
energy." – Montreal Mirror
. "Fasten your seat belts and check your
minimum height requirement, because "Forget Me
Not" by the Herskowitz Rozenblatt Project is about
to take listeners on a frenzied roller coaster
ride of idiomatic twists and turns that could
leave even the most experienced jazz aficionados
light-headed." - Whole Note Discoveries
(thewholenote.com)
. "This is a tasty first album by the
classically trained pianist Matt Herskowitz and
drummer David Rozenblatt and its mix of
contemporary classical, jazz, funk, blues and
Latin music is refreshing and energetic." –
Winnipeg Free Press
. "In the company of American trumpeter Lew
Soloff, who appears as special guest performer, we
explore a super-charged universe, not always
relaxing, and which demands an attentive ear."
– Le Journal de Montréal
