Matthias Seuffert is internationally considered one of the most versatile jazz clarinetists and saxophonists. His stylistic range covers early jazz and swing through to bebop. On the international jazz scene, he is a popular and much sought after soloist, ensemble player and arranger. He has performed concerts and recorded CDs together with most of today's best European and American jazz players.

Born 1971 in Germany, he discovered his love for jazz at a very early age. After taking classical musical education on both clarinet and piano, he won several youth prizes and received the "Prix Sidney d´Or" in France 1992. During 2002 and 2003 he lived in England to work as saxophone-lecturer at the jazz department of Trinity College of Music, London, and to play on the British jazz scene. He translates influences of such diverse players as Johnny Dodds, Buddy de Franco, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Golson, Benny Carter and Charlie Parker into his own creative, bluesy style.

Due to his qualities as a soloist and ensemble player, he was invited to take part in numerous recording sessions with top musicians from around the world.
