Chance Episodes by Matty Stecks & Dead Cat Bounce

The sextet's name and songs titles like 'Food Blogger' betray a sense of humor. But the music's sense of postmodern storytelling proves that the band's wit is inspired by greater artistic depth." – JazzTimes

"Dead Cat Bounce does it all with exquisite writing, the subtle use of a bass-drum rhythm section and above all a definite sense of communication between the members that I am sure will be apparent to even the casual listener. These musicians are not just playing the music on the page, but listening and communing together." – Dave Liebman

With a group name presciently stripped from today's headlines, the term 'dead cat bounce' denotes a small, brief recovery in the price of a declining stock ("Even a dead cat will bounce if dropped from a great height"). To the six musicians in Dead Cat Bounce, it signifies one’s dedication to creative rebirth and renewal in jazz even as times, traditions and masters move on.
