CD ReviewsWe have an artist here... Big Chief | Laguna Niguel, CA | 05/11/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "...or I should say artists; top of the food chain, that is all I can say! I'm not qualified for a review of this work, being new to Mike and his freinds. But, I know music and art, and what I like, and is music that nudges/pushes the edges of it all. Mike has an insane sense of phrasing; it's almost an insult to refer to it as phrasing because I feel he isn't phrasing so much as just "being" or just "listening very very well". I don't know, but it is without question the real deal. Mike can play, no questions there; but as a composer he really should be acknowledged. Within the compositions, "space" is a natural component, and the entire gang seems to be on the same page. I hope this review encourages listening, because thats all it will take.
It's not all that often that I gush like this, but I got lucky recently, and found these guys. Listen to the samples, and if anything seems worthy of exporing, buy it and be happy. There is enough here to keep you listening for a long long time. Mike is so free, I think you'll just feel it, and you can let it take you wherever. (Do these folks ever venture so far as the West Coast? L.A., or S.F., or S.D.? CA? I'll get to the show, no matter where, but N.Y.C. shouldn't get all the fun! ;-) Kudos from me guys! James " |
