Matthew Savage was just seven and one-half years old at the time of this recording.  He began taking classical piano one year previously with an instructor in his home town.  Matthew enjoyed improvisation so much we enrolled him in the jazz program at the New England Conservatory of Music in the fall of 1999.  He also enjoys math, reading and games.

Eyran Katsenelenbogen is a piano instructor at the New England Conservatory of Music.  He is Matthew's jazz/improv teacher, and an accomplished performer.  Eyran performs seven new, original compositions for this benefit project.
