Michael Musillami News

Michael's latest recording, the Michael Musillami Trio + 3's From Seeds (Playscape Recordings), was released in May 2009.

Here's a sample of the media's response so far:

"...Musillami has a tone that's impossible not to love...a potent sextet, and the guitarist's writing provides a rich variety of settings."
- James Hale, DownBeat

"...an aural delight, one more stellar recording from Michael Musillami."
- Richard Kamins, Hartford Courant

"Building on the jazz tradition with graceful strides, From Seeds is one of Musillami's finest efforts, and a high water mark for a label whose longstanding dedication to quality is documented in each release."
- Troy Collins, AllAboutJazz.com

"This sextet is potent, equally as able to turn on a dime, ride with the wind, or hop aboard a freight train of steaming power and perseverance...a marvelous new music recording of great depth and vision that retains its vibrancy upon repeated plays...highly recommended."
- Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide

"These players are not only able to maneuver the tricky ins and outs of these pieces but also seem to be genuinely inspired by them...throughout, the core trio functions as a modern rhythm section should, almost telepathically shifting tempos, driving soloists, creating the space to support the added heft in the frontline."
- Robert Iannapollo, AllAboutJazz-New York
