There is no doubt that Andre Matos has chops to burn. Placed firmly in the tradition of John Abercrombie and Pat Martino, with a bit of Sonny Sharrock at moments, a lot of Berklee (College of Music) influence is readily apparent, but with a bit of headiness that also reflects the guitarist's time at the New England Conservatory. Quare (2010), released on saxophonist Greg Osby's record Inner Circle Music label, serves as a nice introduction to Matos' compositional skills as well as his instrumental talent, and finds him in good company, receiving strong support from a sympathetic and versatile group.

AAJ Contibutor William Carey spoke with Matos recently, about his education at Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, musical interests that range from Jim Hall to AC/CD, and his latest CD, Quare, released earlier this year on saxophonist Greg Osby's Inner Circle Music label.
