Onzy Matthews Jr. was an American pianist, singer, arranger, and composer whose work helped shape the Los Angeles jazz scene in the 1950s and 1960s. Trained in theory and harmony, he became known for leading an integrated big band that brought together studio musicians and local soloists, creating blues‑based arrangements and original repertoire that drew notice from peers such as Dexter Gordon and Curtis Amy. His arranging work reached wider recognition through Lou Rawls’ albums Black and Blue and Tobacco Road, and through collaborations on Ray Charles recordings in the 1960s. He recorded for Capitol and led sessions with varied instrumentations; some tapes remain unreleased, but his style showed an affinity for contemporary large‑ensemble writing and for bossa nova arranged for big band. Matthews also confronted the racial barriers of his time by maintaining a racially integrated band in a market that favored segregated ensembles. Later he worked closely with Duke Ellington’s circle as a pianist, arranger, and conductor, establishing a legacy noted by musicians and producers for the precision of his arrangements and for advocating diverse ensembles.
