488: Matthew Golombisky on starting a record label - a podcast by Jason Heath
from 2018-05-28T11:00
Like so many great artists, it’s hard to pin down the artistry of Matthew Golombisky. His website states “Bassist, Composer, Educator, Ideator.” That’s an intriguing tagline for a fascinating and multidimensional artist.
Matthew runs ears&eyes Records and is the founder and conductor of the Tomorrow Music Orchestra. AllAboutJazz writer Jakob Baekgaard called Matthew a modern “renaissance man” in this fascinating deep-dive into his career.
Matthew has been active as an artist in New Orleans, Chicago (where he played in the Gunelpumpers with my former teacher Michael Hovnanian), Oakland, and Buenos Aires. We covered a lot of ground in this interview—enjoy!
