Matthew Rotker-Lynn & his Quartet's CD Release Celebration

At age 25, he has already played at top jazz venues such as Smalls, Cellar Dog, the 1905, the Django, the Roxy, Cafe Bohemia, Chris’ Jazz Cafe, and Ornithology, sharing the stage with musicians such as Steve Davis, Alex Claffy, Joe Farnsworth, Pat Bianchi, George Colligan, Willie Jones III, David Wong, Ken Fowser, Brian Charette, Jon Davis, Jason Tiemann, David Kikoski, John Ellis, Sean Smith, and Mike Ledonne, among others.

Originally from Milwaukee, WI, Rotker-Lynn moved to NYC at age 18 to pursue a degree in Jazz Studies at the City College of New York. It was there that he got to study with musicians such as Peter Bernstein, Steve Wilson, Lage Lund, and Ray Gallon, while dipping his feet into 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 currently TBA.
