The Matt Savage Trio

**The Matt Savage Trio** is a genre-bending jazz crew led by pianist and composer Matt Savage, a neurodivergent artist who’s been shaking up the scene since his teens. Diagnosed with autism at age three, Savage taught himself piano by ear as a kid, developing a blazing technical style and a knack for reinventing jazz standards with playful complexity. His trio—featuring bass and drums—mixes fiery improvisation with tight arrangements, earning them spots at major festivals (Montreux, Newport) and collaborations with legends like Chick Corea and Esperanza Spalding. Recent releases like *Quantum Leap* and *Cutting Loose* showcase their knack for blending post-bop energy with modern twists, while *Hot Ticket: Live in Boston* bottles their electrifying stage chemistry. Beyond music, Savage is a passionate autism advocate, sharing his story through TED Talks and educational outreach. Whether in studio grooves or live-show fireworks, this trio proves jazz is very much alive—and wildly inventive.
