ALLEGRO NEWS<br />
GRAVITY<br />
In September <strong>2012</strong>, we lost a<br />
close friend and the world lost<br />
a great jazz preservationist:<br />
Mat Domber, record producer<br />
and owner of Arbors Records.<br />
JAZZTIMES: Mat Domber, the founder and president of the jazz label Arbors<br />
Records, died in St. Petersburg, Fla., on Sept. 19, as the result of cancer. Domber<br />
was 84. According to JazzTimes contributor Ken Franckling, Domber, who<br />
was a lawyer, created Arbors in 1989 and began recording classic jazz artists—<br />
from Dixieland to mainstream swing—“who weren’t getting the attention they<br />
deserved. Over the next 20-plus years, they found a welcome home on his<br />
Clearwater, Fla.-based label. What began as a labor of love for Mat and his<br />
wife/business partner Rachel, evolved into a significant force on the jazz scene.<br />
Domber released over 300 recordings on the label, by a diverse roster of artists<br />
including Ruby Braff, Kenny Davern, Bob Haggart, Dick Hyman, Dave<br />
McKenna, Bucky Pizzarelli, Flip Phillips, Ralph Sutton, Johnny Varro and<br />
Bob Wilber to Howard Alden, Harry Allen, Dan Barrett, Scott Hamilton,<br />
Rebecca Kilgore, Nicki Parrott, Ken Peplowski, Daryl Sherman, Rossano<br />
Sportiello, and Aaron Weinstein. The label’s first release, in 1990, was by<br />
Rick Fay’s Hot Five. Trombonist/cornetist Dan Barrett, represented on<br />
approximately 50 Arbors CDs, is the label’s most–recorded artist.<br />
Said Harry Allen, “Mat Domber was profoundly kind, gentle, and generous. His<br />
love of jazz was unparalleled. Through his countless recordings, many festivals<br />
and other ventures like the Statesmen of Jazz, he greatly improved the lives<br />
of jazz musicians and jazz fans all over the world. He was a great man.”<br />
