Matt
Panayides is a modern guitarist and composer. He loves performing and
collaborating with a diverse array of musicians, while being part of the
vibrant, creative music scene of New York.
He
also works as a music educator in a wide variety of settings, from
master classes, to guitar ensembles, to running his own private music
studio.
His
compelling melodies, compositions and improvisations remain in the
listener’s mind long after the gig, employing modern harmonies, free and
structured improvisations, mixed-meter rhythms and straight-ahead
swing.
His
current group features a long-standing partnership with Rich Perry on
tenor sax and a rotating cast of some of NYC’s heaviest rhythm section
players including: Steve LaSpina, Thomson Kneeland, Mark Ferber, Bob
Sabin, Sam Trapchak, and Jeff Davis.
In
2015 Matt released his second album as a leader entitled "CONDUITS"
featuring his original compositions. Joined by Rich Perry, Mark Ferber
and Thomson Kneeland.
In 2011 Matt released his first album as a leader. The album features his tunes with Rich Perry, Steve LaSpina and Dan Weiss.
Matt holds a BM from Manhattan School of music and an MM from William Paterson University.
