[78-L] Mat Mathews (1924-2009)

This is too bad. Mathews made the accordion swing like few could. He also was noteworthy in that a young Herbie Mann played with him in the New York Jazz Quartet. They made two LPs for Elektra in the mid-1950s. Mathews and Mann also recorded 78s for Brunswick in 1954, I believe.

On the 12th of February, 2009 the Dutch accordion player Mathieu Schwartz
passed away in Rotterdam aged 84 years old. He became famous in the 1950s as
Mat Mathews in the New York jazz scene. This fact passed by almost unnoticed
by the jazz scene and the news media. A shame !!
