Using Jazz as a center point of focus, the MATT ROBERTS GROUP brings together a wide variety of sounds. You'll hear everything from ECM contemporary jazz and Brazilian fusion to pop!

The compositions vary from the simple to the complex, from eclectic to the sounds of purely soulful and heartfelt melodies and lyrics.

Some call it fusion, some call it "stadium jazz"(a term coined for the band referring to their BIG sound and energetic live show)�one thing is for sure, if you haven't heard them yet, you're missing out!!!!
