What is surprising is that players so young should have such a strong feeling for this music. They sound like they've been playing it all their lives. And what's even more surprising are the arrangements and improvising...This record is truly a pleasant surprise!"- Tom Cole, WPFW & NPR"Michael’s improvisations are intelligent explorations of new melodies spun out over often familiar chord changes."- Alan Greenblatt, The Washington Post"Bossalingo is one of the best local releases in recent years."- Eric Brace, The Washington Post
