Through the release of his debut album, ?Wonderful World?, bassist Matt Dwonszyk and an all-star cast of supporting musicians, all of whom share a common thread of strong roots in Hartford, Connecticut?s music scene, show the world that the future of jazz in the U.S. and beyond is in good hands, with great reason for much optimism when looking ahead. Besides being a vehicle for hiss front and center bass playing, he shows off his ample composing and arranging skills. The title track is a very hip take on the standard What a Wonderful World. Dwonszyk?s funky beat adds some bounce to this Louis Armstrong favorite. It?s an arrangement of a classic tune that would have put a gigantic smile on Pops? face for sure.
