“In the small field of creative male jazz singers, Matt Barber ranks near the top. He certainly keeps busy, typically performing at over 300 concerts per year. Barber has a strong and appealing voice along with attractive phrasing that makes each song he interprets into a swinging affair. The Song Is You is his seventh recording as a leader since 2005.” – Scott Yanow, jazz journalist/historian
“Matt, I congratulate you on your ability of keeping alive the great music we know and love. Keep up the good work and I wish you continued success!” – Vincent Falcone, former pianist/conductor for Frank Sinatra
