Album Notes

Matthew Ball is "one of the State's premier blues & boogie-woogie pianists." With a performance history that includes everything from symphony appearances to blues festivals, this young man is already at the helm of an enviable performance career.

Formally degreed in classical study, Ball gave up that devotion after attending a hometown boogie-woogie festival. In just four years, he was sharing the stage with iconic piano blues & boogie-woogie veterans.

Called "the Gen-X arrival to this uniquely american art-form," Matthew is defining a new generation's contribution to this treasured American tradition.
