Matt Eakle
Matt Eakle and his flute have been blowing crowds out of their chairs and onto their feet since 1989 as the first wind player to share the front line with David Grisman in the David Grisman Quintet (DGQ). He is featured on 14 albums with the DGQ, Jerry Garcia, Enrique Coria, and as the leader of his own jazz trio on the album, Flute Jazz. On these and hundreds of other recordings, Eakle takes people’s preconceived notions of what a flute can do and turns them inside out.
