IMA Winner Performs With NEIL DIAMOND!

IMA Jazz Winner, Matt Shulman and his band, backed up Neil Diamond recently at NYU’s Skirball Center.

"Breaking news: Neil Diamond headllined a special event last night at NYU's Skirball Center as a crowd of almost 500 people watched an impressive array of local talent- mostly NYU alumni in a celebration of former NYU President Jay Oliva's 50 years at the University. The local act who blew the crowd away the most was trumpeter Matt Shulman and his band. Shulman is a New Century Future Star who was booked recently by Michael McHugh in the hot newly renovated room Village Underground. He performed an innovative version of the classic song "What A Wonderful World" with his band using loops to give the song a surreal neo- cool jazz edge. Then- Matt Shulman and his band backed up Neil Diamond on his classics "Sweet Caroline", "I Am, I Said" and a hip lounge-jazz update on Diamond's "Love On The Rocks" from the film 'The Jazz Singer'." -Michael McHugh, New Century Booking
