Full Biography

“A wonderful young guitarist” David Mead, Guitarist Magazine

"This is sophisticated stuff... Everyone plays superbly and the whole set is wholly recommended." ***** Mark Gilbert, Jazz Journal

Kind of Two are a highly skilled & award-winning jazz duo based in London who are guaranteed to lend a sophisticated soundtrack to any event. Made up of two acclaimed and highly sought-after musicians, Kind of Two have appeared at the U.K. and Europe’s top jazz clubs such as Ronnie Scott’s, played at countless weddings and private parties and have also performed for well-known clients such as Elton John and Lord and Lady Sainsbury, as well as for a private party hosting HM The Queen Elizabeth II.

The Musicians
Originally hailing from the North Yorkshire Moors, London-based saxophonist and Dankworth Prize-winning composer Matt Anderson released his second critically-acclaimed album ‘Rambling’ in 2018. Based in Leeds for a time, Matt moved to London in 2015, studying at the Royal Academy of Music where he now coaches Junior Jazz ensembles. Becoming part of the fertile jazz scene in the capital, he has since performed with artists/bands such as the Gareth Lockrane and Calum Gourlay big bands, Jamie Doe, Hannes Riepler and Ivo Neame. In Leeds, he worked with many of the city’s top musicians/composers including Jamie Taylor, Jamil Sheriff, James Hamilton and Jiannis Pavlidis (in collaboration with Greg Hutchinson), and he has also toured in New Zealand, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia.

Guitarist Alex Munk graduated from the masters programme at London's Royal Academy of Music with Distinction in 2011, where he was awarded the Elton John Scholarship, the Scott Philbrick Jazz Scholarship and the John Baker Memorial Prize. Since then he has released two albums to critical acclaim, with glowing reviews in the likes of The Guardian, Guitarist magazine and Jazzwise magazine. His album-release tours were supported by Arts Council England and included performances at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and Pizza Express Dean Street. His profile has grown steadily to the forefront of capital's jazz scene and he regularly performs in the bands of many highly regarded musicians and band leaders in London, as well as with the world-renowned CBSO.

Previous Clients/Venues
Kind of Two have been performing as professional musicians for many years and are heavily experienced in playing for all kinds of events. Among the many well-known corporate clients they have worked for are Warburtons, the NHS, HSBC, BT and the CBI, they have played at hundreds of weddings, private parties and dinners, and they have also performed for well-known clients such as Elton John and Lord and Lady Sainsbury, as well as for a private party hosting HM The Queen Elizabeth II. Both musicians have also performed across the world and they have appeared at many of the UK and Europe’s most well-known jazz clubs and festivals, such as London's Ronnie Scott’s and Pizza Express Dean Street jazz clubs, and Amsterdam’s Bimhuis.
