About the artist
“ “New Orleans in Stride” a musical story about New Orleans told through the voice and piano tales of New Orleans Piano Professor Matt Lemmler in the spirit of the New Orleans music legends.”
Matt Lemmler follows in the long tradition of great New Orleans pianists, from the Storyville jazz of Jelly Roll Morton, to the boogie and rhythm & blues of Antoine “Fats” Domino, to the New Orleans Stride of James Booker and Dr. John, to the modern jazz of Ellis Marsalis, to multifaceted entertainer (and Matt’s high school piano colleague) Harry Connick, Jr. His musical knowledge and abilities embrace all of these styles, as well as film scoring and large scale arranging–a tribute to his prodigious talent. Matt Lemmler is a true New Orleans Jazz Piano Professor.
