| Michael Musillami Trio with Mark Feldman: October Tour The Michael Musillami Trio with Mark Feldman will tour the Northeast U.S. in early October in support of its new CD/DVD set, The Treatment (Playscape Recordings). Formed earlier this year, the group augments the well-documented chemistry of guitarist/composer Michael Musillami's longstanding trio, featuring Joe Fonda and George Schuller, with the distinctive voice of acclaimed violinist Mark Feldman. Critics have called Musillami “a superior guitarist” (John McDonough, DownBeat) and “a protean player with a prolific output” (Bill Milkowski, JazzTimes), noting that his “intricate compositions are both thematically memorable and ear-grabbing due to their zealous playfulness” (Jay Collins, Signal to Noise). His flagship ensemble is his trio, which has performed in the U.S., Canada and Europe in addition to recording 2002's Beijing and 2005's Dachau, both on his acclaimed Playscape Recordings label. The Treatment, Musillami's 14th recording as a leader, follows 2006's Fragile Forms, the debut of his group Dialect featuring pianist Peter Madsen, bassist Drew Gress and drummer Matt Wilson. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Jazz News :: home page |
