Mike Melvoin has been playing the piano since he was 3 and jazz since he was 13 and has never stopped. His legendary career in the studios as a player, arranger, composer, conductor, producer and recording artist continues at the highest level. His credits, in all media and all styles are the Who’s who of music ranging from Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett to Quincy Jones and John Lennon. In 2006 he was awarded the Musician’s Musician award from the Friends of Jazz at UCLA.
”This 70-minute CD (Playing the Word), which finds pianist Mike Melvoin collaborating with poet Dan Jaffe, favors spoken word of the jazz variety; while Melvoin plays his piano, Jaffe thoughtfully reflects on jazz’s rich history and looks back on the contributions of Charlie “Bird” Parker, Charles Mingus, Count Basie, and others.”
