Original Violin Swing //

Violinist Matt Holborn brings swinging original jazz music from his new album “For Stuff”, celebrating the great Stuff Smith the unsung grandfather of jazz violin. With a super happening band Holborn channels Smith’s wonderful sense of melody, incredible swing, enthralling interplay and spontaneous improvisation.

“Matt Holborn’s For Stuff is a wonderful tribute. It’s almost possible to envisage these pieces as previously unknown Stuff Smith takes, for they are as fresh as possible while paying non-imitative homage to how Stuff himself played. Each time Smith performed the “same” tune, it was never truly the same… Matt Holborn’s For Stuff is a warm, affectionate, and original tribute.” Anthony Barnett – Stuff Smith’s Biographer
