The Matt Panayides Trio present their latest album called: “With Eyes Closed”. The talented and charming trio recently announced that their magical piece of art will hit and surprise the world on September 20th, through the Pacific Coast Jazz label. “With Eyes Closed” feels and sounds as if you are taken back to the late 50’s, yet it stays fresh and generates a soundscape of modern jazz. Somewhere in between Miles Davis and Dave Brubeck, “With Eyes Closed” manages to stay original, beautiful, unique, and proves to create a profound jazz world of its own.
Matt Panayides who grew up in Springfield, Ohio, and Indianapolis, Indiana, has crafted a unique sound that has received worldwide recognition. The highly acclaimed guitarist and composer based in the New York City area, teams up with the exceptional talents of Steve LaSpina on bass and Anthony Pinciotti on drums. Together, they create new life into the world of legendary jazz composers such as Cedar Walton, Wayne Shorter, and Joe Henderson.
“With Eyes Closed” cleverly and brilliantly brings classic and contemporary jazz together. Matt Panayides’ distinctive playing style and improvisational skills are well portrayed all throughout the new album. His execution on the guitar is exceptional, showcasing perfect texture, and entrancing feeling. Anthony Pinciotti on drums keeps the tracks moving forward along with his breathtaking crispy snare, hi-hat, and groovy cymbal work. Steve LaSpina who handles the four stringed instrument fleshes out the band’s sound and ultimately cements every track on the record.
The album showcases an acoustic sound, producing a resonant, clear, and clean tone. The band captures a spontaneous and loose feeling, similar to that of a live performance. Across the 11 tracks, listeners are invited to a blend of original pieces and masterful reinterpretations, all performed with exceptional skill and creativity. “With Eyes Closed” is around the corner, and it promises to be a captivating and transformative experience for both jazz enthusiasts and newcomers alike. “With Eyes Closed” features classics such as: “Moon River” and “I Fall in Love Too Easily”.
