With his newest quartet project, trumpeter and composer Paul Dietrich aims to capture a folk-infused jazz sound inspired by the likes of Bill Frisell and Brad Mehldau. This group, formed in early 2020 and performing all original music, features some of Chicago's finest musicians and bandleaders alongside Paul: Matt Gold on guitar, Brian Courage on bass, and Jeremy Cunningham on drums.

Paul Dietrich has released three albums as a leader, two with his Quintet, We Always Get There (2014) and Focus (2017), and one with his large ensemble, Forward (2019). Music from each of those can be heard at www.pauldietrichjazz.com.

"There’s an alluring kinetic energy to this recording, whether it be Gold’s electric guitar power-playing, his acoustic guitar and its whispered textures, the folk-tinged vocals blending perfectly with the abstracted Americana, or the bluesier elements that are a welcome delight."  - ★★★★ UK Vibe

"This Chicago-based guitar trio have an engaging sound and wield their own succinct brand of distorted Americana."  - Jazzwise Magazine 

Matt Gold is a guitarist and composer based in Chicago. His work pulls from diverse traditions of electric and acoustic music. Matt has given his guitar a good strum or two in venues across North America, Europe, and Asia, and has written music for films as well. His work has been praised for being “accessible, yet healthily unconstrained by genre and sure of its own identity” (UK Vibe) and for "combining the virtuosity and precision of a string quartet with the playfulness of small-group jazz" (Chicago Reader). In May 2020 Gold released his first solo record, Imagined Sky (Whirlwind Recordings), displaying his penchant for concise melody and a nuanced, exploratory palette of abstracted Americana. He has released four albums as the instrumental duo Sun Speak (with drummer Nate Friedman) and one with the singer/songwriter duo Storm Jameson (with vocalist/guitarist Jim Tashjian). As a guitarist and collaborator, Matt performs and records with artists including Makaya McCraven, Greg Ward, Sara Serpa, Hood Smoke, and Jamila Woods. He co-curates the Flood Music concert series and record label. http://mattgoldmusic.com/
