Louis Matute

Guitarist and composer Louis Matute stands out as one of the most inspiring jazz musicians on the European stage. With his Large Ensemble, he unfolds compositions open to the world, where each note traces the contours of his imaginary jazz planet, deeply rooted between Europe and Latin America. He shapes a free, incandescent, and deeply personal jazz, blending organic grooves, sunlit melodies, analog textures, Caribbean accents, and poetic flights. A sensitive and contemporary alchemy. Bound by a long-standing musical connection, Louis Matute’s Large Ensemble invites listeners on a journey off the beaten path, carried by the freshness and originality of its interpretations. Over the years he's been playing and touring in some of the finest jazz festivals such as North Sea Jazz Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazz à Vienne, Jazz in Marciac, Stockholm Jazz Festival and Athens Jazz Festival.
