Michael Feinberg, bass
Noah Preminger, sax
Ian Froman, drums
Billy Test, piano
Following the success of his widely-acclaimed album, The Elvin Jones Project, Michael Feinberg is gearing up to release his brand new album, Whatever Possessed Me, on March 23rd. The record will drop at the halfway point of his east coast tour, which will include performances in NYC, Philadelphia and Atlanta. Whatever Possessed Me demonstrates everything Feinberg loves about jazz. It’s eclectic yet specific, swinging yet searching, deep and rich, but all the while full of emotion, spirituality, and conversation between brothers. On it, Michael showcases the mature and unique sound he has already cultivated during his short time on the New York City jazz scene. As a bassist, he exemplifies total control and comfort with his craft. As a bandleader, he pushes himself and his quartet sound to dizzying heights, playing with rhythms and textures as only a bass player can know how. The result is something that is at once both polished and edgy. Feinberg sums up the album in one word: “ENERGY. Energy can be felt in various ways; it can be exciting, anxious, driving, but all the while, it’s exciting.” Whatever Possessed Me also serves as a journey through some of his biggest influences. The album includes selections from icons such as John Coltrane (Feinberg’s rendition of “Compassion” is both perfectly simple and incredibly layered) and Thad Jones (the dynamic “Lycra, Too?” features Grammy award-winning tenor saxophonist, Kebbi Williams). Michael Feinberg is following in these legends’ footsteps as an artist on the cutting edge of jazz performance. Starting March 10th , Feinberg will be performing the album and other fan favorites on the road. The tour will be a chance to experience the music the way Michael thinks it should be: live and in person....
