"Matthew had heads bobbing, toes tapping, and tushes wiggling, leaving you in awe as his fingers flew across the keys!"

"The music had the whole group of us nodding our heads in unison, like 90 strangers who had somehow stumbled across a common point of agreement. ....there was a joyful noise. Ball played boogie woogie like a two-fisted orchestra, with rich, athletic melodies streaming from his right hand and deep, thumping chords from his left.  His 90-minute performance was a dizzying cab ride through time. Every song was a history lesson. Every chord was simultaneously a glance in the rear-view mirror and a look at what loomed ahead. By now we should know better than to believe music bears an expiration date.  Now and then, though, there's a reminder.... THE BOOGIE WOOGIE KID."
