Chicago bassist-composer, Matt Ulery, creates resplendent, lyrical, transportive chamber-jazz music with form and structure presenting narrative through patient, elegant, and sophisticated melodic development.

With his new, modern-hot jazz band, Pollinator, Ulery embraces good feeling aesthetics in jazz with rousing new music for brass band.
