Based now in New York City and Rome, Renzi grew up in San Francisco — where his father, Paul Renzi, was principal flautist for the San Francisco Symphony until his retirement in 2004, having joined that organization at the age of 18. Matt’s grandfather, Paolo Renzi, was principal oboist for Arturo Toscanini’s NBC Symphony Orchestra. Matt studied with the late saxophone titan Joe Henderson as well as South Indian vocalist R. A. Ramamani.
Renzi’s sidemen for this date are among the most talented jazz players on the San Francisco scene. Come early if you need to snare a seat!
