Twenty-five year old bassist Michael Feinberg has been a part of the New York City jazz scene for only a short while but has already made a name for himself as a composer, bandleader and accompanist. At the forefront of the rising generation of New York players, Feinberg still finds inspiration looking to the past. Perusing legendary drummer Elvin Jone’s catalog, rising star Feinberg found himself drawn to the interplay the legendary percussionist had with a multitude of bassists.

His CD release party at Birdland features saxophonist Donny McCaslin, drummer Ian Froman, trumpeter Tim Hagans and pianist Leo Genovese.
