BluesSource.com Review
Matt Wigler
Thirteen
Vista Records, 2007

Remember the title of this CD; we’re going to get back to it later.

An all instrumental CD, this for a freshman effort goes beyond good by a long shot. Produced by boogie piano maven Deanna Bogart, Matt seems to have soaked up her music along with Katie Webster, Professor Longhair, Jimmy Smith and more.

With a pleasant mix of originals and covers, Matt kicks the mule in the tail with the opening number Track Ten, then settles into a nice stride with David Maxwell’s Blues Don’t Bother Me. The classic Summertime starts with a rumba beat and then switches to straight jazz. Even the blues anthem, Back at the Chicken Shack has a playful fat Hammond B-3 sound to it, the way it’s suppose to be played. Bogart not only produced but slides in to play sax on most cuts. No matter if it’s jazz, funk or gut bucket ragtime, Wigler has a firm grasp on playing it right.

Matt Wigler is backed by Bogart’s band with Mike Aubin on drums, Scott Ambush on bass, Steve Wigler on trumpet (dad. brother?) and Deanna Bogart on sax and electric piano.

Now I can get back to the title and let you know that Matt Wigler is only...years old. While just starting out, Matt has the dexterity and vision of a seasoned artist. He has nothing but a bright future in front of him. This CD is only available at www.vistamusicstore.com.

BALTIMORE SUN:
A musician starts young and falls hard for the blues
Howard Neighbors
BY JANET GILBERT
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED JUNE 8, 2007

It happened in Ellicott City just a little after 5 p.m. Monday. Anyone on the outside looking in would describe the scene as rather ordinary; a couple of people appeared to be lounging around a home office, listening to something streaming over the speakers of a computer. But sometimes serendipity is on a reporter's side. In this case, an interview and the beginning of something potentially big in the world of blues and jazz converged. And though the first people to hear it over the airwaves probably were in and around St. Michael's College in Burlington, Vt. -- where station WWPV 88.7 was the first to air cuts from our hometown wunderkind -- the rest of us can hear it live this weekend at the Columbia Festival of the Arts. It's the foot-tapping, head-swinging, blues-jazz fusion music from Matt Wigler's debut compact disc, XIII.

If we don't change the direction we are headed we will end up where we are going.
~ Chinese Proverb

Boxing is like jazz, the better it is, the less people appreciate it.
~ George Foreman

Blues is to jazz what yeast is to bread--without it, it's flat.
~ Carmen McRae

Hipness is not a state of mind, It's a fact of life!
~ Cannonball Adderley


When people believe in boundaries, they become part of them.
~ Don Cherry


Don't play what's there, play what's not there.
~ Miles Davis


If I'd known I was going to live to be a hundred I'd have taken much better care of myself.
~ Eubie Blake


Davis understood that the space between the notes was sometimes just as important as the notes themselves. But he also understood that too much space between the notes, and people would think that the concert was over and go home...
