Bio:
With their signature suits in tow, both Jared and Jonathan have relentlessly toured venues throughout South America, Europe, Japan and Scandinavia, generating global acclaim while also further curating their sound into a musical kaleidoscope that brings to mind everyone from Charles Mingus and Chet Baker to the Smiths and the Jesus and Mary Chain. Having performed and recorded with the likes of Ray Barbee and Tommy Guerrero, the Mattson 2 have grown up quick, accomplishing more in a short time than many musicians in their entire career, and thus further providing a mature sound that is equally at home on the beach as it is in the smokey jazz clubs. Tighten that tie, turn up the volume, dig your toes in the sand and soak in the shimmery whitewash of the Mattson 2.

Its like a Lollapalooza of chamber music.

The San Francisco Friends Of Chamber Music realized they needed to up the ante for their grant proposals, so they hired me to make a highlight reel of their Chamber Music Day event at the
de Young Museum. I had a great time bouncing from stage to stage, shooting and recording.
Editing this piece was a joy.

I highly recommend this free musical event. It’s an all day affair, with 2 stages and a large variety
of genres. You will not regret it.

Many thanks to Art Granoff and John Anaya for the sound recordings.
