About the Event
The Alex Skolnick Trio fuses jazz spontaneity with rock and metal attitude under guitarist Alex Skolnick (Testament). Matt Zebroski handles drums while Nathan Peck plays bass, creating a sound that blends funk, Western swing, calypso, and electronica with bold improvisation. Their latest album explores humanity versus technology, AI-era improvisation, and modern social behavior through originals and covers ranging from Tom Petty to Chick Corea and Aerosmith, performed across vintage and modern instruments. The group has toured globally, played major jazz festivals, and opened for Rodrigo y Gabriela at venues like Radio City Music Hall and The Olympia in Paris. Acclaimed by Billboard, Downbeat, NPR, and others, AST delivers a live experience that bridges jazz tradition with contemporary edgeideal for fans of genre-bending instrumental music.
