"There are many other guitarists out there pushing towards a modern ideal, but none with the precise coordinates that Mike Moreno has charted."----Nate Chinen
"Mike Moreno's appealing tone, cascading lines and inherent sense of lyricism mark him as one of the the most outstanding guitarists since Kurt Rosenwinkel."----Bill Milkowski
"Mike Moreno is one of the many stellar talents providing instrumental genius to the professional ranks of jazz."---Seldon T. Nun
Moreno shines as a shrewd composer who is blessed with enviable chops and a wide-ranging jazz vernacular that bears a mark of distinction.
-Glenn Astarita-Jazzreview.com
"Moreno employs his guitars to create his own brand of textured, mellow jazz." "Between The Lines offers moments of crystalline beauty." - Phillip Booth - Downbeat Magazine June 08
I'm originally from Houston, TX, I moved to New York City in 97. IT WILL BE 10 YEARS IN SEPTEMBER!!! So since coming here, I've been fortunate enough to tour/perform/ and record with some of my favorite musicians that inspired me to pursue music. Joshua Redman Elastic Band, Lizz Wright Band, Nicholas Payton Quartet, Greg Osby 4, Terence Blanchard Sextet, Wynton Marsalis and the JALC Orchestra, Jeff Tain Watts Quintet, Q-Tip. Along the way, I met some great friends and innovative musicians who I play consistantly with and who are all pushing music in great directions. John Ellis, Gretchen Parlato, Aaron Parks, Jeremy Pelt, Yosvany Terry, The Strickland Brothers and others.
As far as my band goes, if your in NY you can hear us down at The Jazz Gallery, Smalls, The Bar Next Door, and some other venues. We just recorded our debut CD which is out now. And also, I just recorded my second record for Criss Cross Records which will be in in April of 2008. Look out for it!
Please visit my real site for more.........mikemoreno.com No, really please, I actually pay to keep that one up. I could have saved my money if I knew myspace was on it's way. Thanks guys.
Ciao,Mike Moreno Thank you for the add and the friendship. you are very good, I like your stupendous music a lot, compliments ..really. you are one of my prefeitis, I feel great admiration for you, I hope to listen soon to you, in italy .. all the best.. from italy..and good life.. every day neal
That lesson still echoes in my mind...Thank you so much for make me build a coherent solo, maybe for the first time in my life! Praying for the next lesson...And that chart!
Hi Mike! I really love your songs. You'll to paly in Brazil, but don't will come to Sao Paulo? You need to play in Sao Paulo. It's serious. Becouse it's the moust important city of Brasil. And I work in a great music school (that's Berklee association school), and you should to play our to give a masterclass there. So, my e-mail is febaggio@gmail.com write me, ok?
Thank you for accepting my request :-) I really enjoy your work especially with the Aaron Parks Band, the mix of the piano and the guitar is great, there are not too many groups using this formula which in my point of view requires a great harmony and a special harmonic cohesion, and you and Aaron are in a perfect musical balance ! All the band stick together, it sounds great !!! The "Invisible Cinema" album and the video that we can find on the internet are powerful, especially the excerpts of the J&R Music Festival. Cheer also for the samples that we can listen on your page, that's splendid ! That gives the desire for listen to enterity of the albums :-) Do you plan to perform in France these next months ? I hope to listen to you on stage one of these days...
Hey Mike, great show last night at Smalls! Checked it out live on their site...wish i could have been in there in person. Really liked all the new compositions! Hope to hear ya again soon. All the best from PA, Jason
