Meet The Staff Of Jamey Aebersold Jazz ®, Inc. |
Jamey Aebersold - Owner, For over 35 years,
Jamey Aebersold has been the leader in Jazz Improvisation and Education. Jamey has
taught at three colleges and universities in the Louisville, Kentucky area and has made
guest appearances in dozens of cities around the world. While conducting a jazz clinic in
Brazil he produced a 110-minute Video/DVD which has become a best-seller. He currently
teaches jazz improvisation at the University of Louisville. Jamey's hobby is
listening to jazz, especially new young players. He also enjoys playing basketball and is
very much interested in Metaphysics and spiritual pursuits as they apply to the growth of
the individual. In basketball, he has hit 50 free throws in a row! Jamey has been a
driving force in America's native art form, Jazz, and continues to kindle the fires of
musical imagination in those with whom he comes in contact.
Matt Eve - Sales Manager, General Manager, Matt
has been working for Jamey Aebersold for over 26 years - so he has personally seen and
done it all! He was an instructor for the Summer Jazz Workshops at the age of 20 and a faculty member of a local college for several
years until the administrative demands of the Jamey Aebersold Jazz ® made it impossible to
do both. Matt knows more about the products
and inventory than anyone else and is VERY knowledgable on jazz and jazz improvisation.
Matt is truly an asset to this company and knows the tools jazz players need to succeed.
Matt's hobbies are playing basketball and fishing. He also spends a lot of time playing
saxophone with the Reingold Band; a very successful European/Early American band. He lives
with his family in a house on a lake he built himself 20 years ago.
