Twos and Fours is the project Matt Parker co-founded with Julio Monterrey — two musicians who grew up together in Florida and have been playing together for over two decades. Julio plays alto saxophone; the friendship predates both their professional careers.

The project is Julio's vision, and it's an extraordinary one. Twos and Fours is jazz that incorporates performance art, pastiches of projected collage "scores," samples, and slides — pushing the musical envelope into the future while maintaining an ever-present homage to heritage. "Living, Breathing, Screaming Jazz" is the only tagline that comes close.

Matt and Julio held a residency at Coco 66 in Greenpoint, Brooklyn for over six years — a new art installation each week, the same stage, the same trust. Later they were asked to infiltrate other spaces throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. Julio is now based in Los Angeles; the spirit of Twos and Fours is alive, waiting for its next gathering.
