Tenor saxophonist Matt Morrish is a longtime fixture on the Bay Area music scene. A Lafayette native, Morrish spent most of the 1990s in New Orleans, playing in clubs, aboard riverboats, in parades and casinos, and studying with jazz greats Ellis Marsalis and Ed Peterson. A chance meeting with Afro-Cuban jazz artist Juan de Marcos of Buena Vista Social Club fame – while waiting for a delayed plane in an airport lounge, no less – led to collaboration on Morrish’ latest recording, “Trinket Lover.” These days, Morris plays regular gigs at Bo’s in Lafayette and Vinoteca in Danville, as well as the Berkeley JazzSchool and other venues. And he’s a longtime member of the Lafayette Summer Music Workshop faculty.
