Java Jazz

Tipping his hat to the numerous San Diego coffee houses that have served as performance venues for his archtop artistry, Mike and colleagues offer sensitive & swinging interpretations of a fine mix of classics and originals.

Included are: Triste, On Green Dolphin Street, My Romance, Johnny B. Blue, Isn't It Romantic, Destiny, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, Alone Together, Here's to that Rainy Day, Polka Dots & Moonbeams, Alice in Wonderland and Strollin'. Joining Mike are Bruce Grafrath (bass), Dennis Rota (drums), Debbie Cea (vocals) and Holly Hofmann (flute).

Mike plays a Buscarino Custom Jazzman 7 w/ LaBella strings through an Acoustic Image Clarus head w/ Raezer's Edge cabinet. Here for yourself what this gear sounds like in the hands of a great player!
