JAZZ NIGHT w/ GNP at The Park Theater

Matt Niedbalski is back with his monthly Jazz Night featuring a rotating lineup of featured artists and favorite collaborators. Enjoy music from the farthest throes of the jazz genre, from the classics you already love to originals you’ll fall in love with.

GNP is a jazz piano trio featuring Tyler Giroux on piano, Matt Niedbalski on drums, and Dylan Perrillo on bass. Tyler, Matt, and Dylan have been playing together for several years. Their first performances as a group were at the Speakeasy 518 in Albany, New York, a cocktail bar known for its prohibition era ambiance and live jazz. Through countless gigs the trio grew together as a unit, playing as a stand-alone group as well as backing up instrumental soloists and vocalists.

In 2020, a shared passion for original music led to the decision to record their debut album as a group, “Codes.” “Codes” is a reference to the band’s musical communication, the unique vocabulary and cues the group developed over years of playing and growing together. The album consists of 9 original pieces composed by Tyler, Matt, and Dylan, as well as one standard, Gershwin’s “But Not For Me.” You can check out the album here.

Since the release of “Codes” GNP has performed at a myriad of festivals and theaters in and around New York. A favorite moment of the group was backing up the legendary vocalist Sheila Jordan as a part of the Québec Jazz in June festival. GNP released it’s sophomore album “Returning” on Signal Path Records in January of 2025.
