The Alex Skolnick Trio is an American jazz music trio comprising the guitarist Alex Skolnick of Testament, Matt Zebroski on drums, and Nathan Peck on bass. The Trio is known for its inventive jazz take on hard rock and heavy metal “standards”.
Alex Skolnick is both an original member Testament (which he joined at age sixteen) and a respected New York improviser of multiple styles.
Emerging as one of the original melodic thrash guitarists (alongside Marty Friedman), Alex later moved to New York and earned a BfA in Jazz from The New School, studying with such prestigious artists as George Garzone, Cecil Mc- Bee and Reggie Workman.
In 2016, Joe Satriani chose Alex (his former pupil), to be a primary guest instructor at his annual G4 Experience, alongside Eric Johnson, Mike Keneally and Steve Vai, followed by a stint as the sole guitarist on faculty at Warwick Bass Camp, in which he taught and played alongside Alphonso Johnson (Weather Report) and Dennis
Chambers (John Scofield/John McLaughlin). As an an educator and speaker, Alex has been invited to give keynote addresses at academic events such as Dayton University’s Metal and Cultural Impact conference as well as joining various PhDs at the International Society for Metal Studies in Helsinki.
