Info for Introducing

Matthew Rotker-Lynn is quickly becoming a distinctive voice within the New York Jazz scene.

Rotker-Lynn currently resides in Queens, NY, and can be heard regularly in NYC’s top jazz clubs. He has recently recorded a six song EP on the Canadian label “Cellar Live” with Alex Claffy and Jimmy Macbride, featuring special guest Aaron Goldberg. Its release date is February 2024.

When I was first approached with the prospect of recording an EP as a leader for Cellar Music, I was ecstatic. Finally, I would have the opportunity to document what my time in New York City has taught me about playing music.

I knew immediately that I would like to devote a substantial portion of the EP to the format I find myself in the majority of the time: Guitar, Bass, and Drums. I’ve been admiring Alexander Claffy and Jimmy Macbride since hearing them in high school and was honored that they agreed to join me in this recording. I also wanted to give myself the opportunity to be supported by chordal accompaniment for two of my songs and was delighted to feature Aaron Goldberg on piano as a special guest. I first saw Aaron play at the Newport Jazz Festival with Kurt Rosenwinkel when I was 16, and being able to record some of my music with him was a dream come true.
