   About Mike Lorenz
Mike Lorenz, guitarist/composer/bandleader, is an up-and-coming musician centered in the music scene of the Lehigh Valley. He leads his own original jazz quartet, the Mike Lorenz Quartet, which features some of the most in-demand musicians in the Philadelphia area. Mike has led performances in such venues as Smalls Jazz Club in New York City, Chris' Jazz Cafe, the Tritone and the Sci Fi Philly/Ars Nova Workshop series in Philadelphia, Puck Live in Doylestown and numerous venues in other parts of the Philadelphia region.

Info about the tracks:

"3 Step," "Were You Thinking of Me?" "North/South" - Ian O'Beirne, alto saxophone; Ryan Kuhns, bass; Anwar Marshall, drums

"Premise" - Ian O'Beirne, alto saxophone; Brian Howell, bass; Matt Scarano, drums

"I Remember You" - Nick Krolak, bass; Kyle Page, drums

"Another Day" - Koofreh Umoren, trumpet; Ian O'Beirne, tenor saxophone; Lee Clarke, bass; Matt Scarano, drums

"Guitarist Mike Lorenz operates out of the Lehigh Valley and mixes it up regularly in Philly, bringing a focused and fluent vocabulary to music of original construction. Working within the melodically edgy orbit of such role models as Ben Monder and Kurt Rosenwinkel, he can float by on chordal clouds or stun you with quick flashes of linear brilliance, as on a nifty MySpace track called “3 Step.” Lorenz’s quartet comes at the material with a sense of whimsy and seasoned trust. " David R. Adler - Philly Weekly 8/11/09

Dude! That cut from the Sweat in the Heat Quintet gig sounds awesome, nice solo. I gotta hear the rest of that gig. I was actually not sure where that was from for a second because I temporarily lost the ability to read, and when I come back in with the melody I was thinking, "hey, I wonder who that sax guy is, he sounds decent".
Hah!

Hey Mike,

No, I stopped studying with Tom in November. It was getting too hectic, cause I was also with Walt Bibinger (which ended last month) and I was taking saxophone lessons.

It was an interesting day at work. Mulgrew Miller came into the store. Man, that was exciting.
