Michael Manring:
Hailed by many as the worlds leading solo bassist, Michael Manring has been pushing back the boundaries of whats possible on the bass guitar for over three decades. While his technical skill and innovations always make an impression, it is his ability to communicate on a profound emotional level that most touches listeners. As editor Tom Darter wrote in Keyboard magazine after seeing one of Michaels solo concerts, Forget his astounding technique and musicality; forget his absolute command of his instruments; forget how seamlessly the musical ideas and the performance of them were wedded togetherThe enlightenment came most from feeling (seeing, hearing) the joy Michael felt to be playinghis brand of transcendental chops and musical understandingwas all in the service of the final outcome, the joy of making music.
