That has to be one of the most beautiful, audibly, and amazing, technically, pieces of music I've ever heard.
It is hard for me believe he is even human.

The thing is, is that he is a monster when playing straight ahead jazz, rock, blues etc...
as well.
Check out his albums that he has done with "McGill Manring and Stevens" entitled "What We Do" and others.
He is also one of the most soft spoken and humble people I have met.

| | | | I got into MM around the time he released Drastic Measures (92-ish???).
He still blows me away - constantly.
Fantastic vision, composition, playing and a truly nice bloke.

After seeing Michael live for the first time (bass clinic and solo concert) at a tiny gallery here in Seattle a couple of years ago, when I finally got over being absolutely stunned, I recall thinking:"Ok! So... NO LIMITS!!"
A truly astonishing player, best appreciated live.

The thing that always gets me is that he has such total CONTROL over the instrument that nobody I've ever heard has ever come close to achieving. It comes out so fluid and organic you really can't believe that what you're hearing is coming from the instrument you yourself play.

Really. Never been so utterly utterly blown away by a single guys playing before.
He is a creative genius IMO. Truly...
