This was part of Matt Savage's early 29th birthday concert at Virtuosity on May 11, 2021.  And the tune will also be released on Savage's album The Whole Package!, in June 2023.

Matt Savage Groove Experiment - "What's a Nightclub?" (Live)

The Matt Savage Groove Experiment plays "What's a Nightclub?", from their 2022 album The Groove Reawakens. This was a live performance at The Dance Hall in Kittery, ME (the southernmost town in Maine), on April 21, 2023. This tune is an instrumental jazz/funk piece, with lots of trap music influences. The sound is very ironic at times, and meant to capture the absurdity of trying to revive nightclub culture in the post-Covid era.

Matt Savage is on the Collaborative Piano and Jazz/Contemporary Music faculty there. At this debut recital, he did one set of classical piano, followed by a jazz trio and quartet set.

Hello friends. I hope that you are all staying safe, happy and healthy in your quarantine. Here is a brand-new video from my fusion project, the Matt Savage Groove Experiment. This is a tune of mine called "Sunny (For Sonny)" - and it's a tribute to 89-year-old living legend of the tenor saxophone, Sonny Rollins. We hope you enjoy the calypso sounds of this one. We did this video shoot back in January - can't believe it's been three months since then. And we are looking forward to sharing more music with you at our future shows!
