(1942- ) US keyboardist and composer. He was perhaps the first of numerous artists to record music explicitly inspired by Dune(fixup 1965) by Frank Herbert. Unfortunately the feeble mix of smooth jazz, funk-lite and soundtrack music on Dune (1977) does little to live up to its source. Matthews rounds out the album with versions of themes from Silent Running (1971) and Star Wars (1977), and a cover of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" (1969). [CWa]
