Matt Jalbert

Matt Jalbert is the founding member and guitarist of the progressive jazz jam band Tauk, which formed on Long Island when Jalbert, bassist Charlie Dolan, and keyboardist A.C. Carter were teenagers. The band gained major attention in 2014 when they opened on tour for Umphrey's McGee, and has since become known for their instrumental, groove-forward sound that blends jazz, funk, and progressive rock. Beyond his work with Tauk, Jalbert released his solo debut album *Sauce Buffet* in September 2025, showcasing his ability to craft emotionally resonant instrumental compositions.
