Friday, March 14 – Michael Herrings – featuring
saxophonist David Binney (Toronto/New York)
Michael Herring is a double-bassist, composer and arranger based
in Toronto. His focus is on jazz, although he performs in a
variety of genres, including folk, reggae and performance art.
He has a strong sound and musical personality, and thrives in
open and improvised settings.
Michael Herring’s Vertigo, an original jazz sextet comprised
of the strongest voices in the next generation of Canadian Jazz
and New York’s David Binney on alto saxophone, has just
released “Coniferous Revenge”, featuring eleven
of Herring’s original compositions. The album has garnered
critical acclaim, including being picked as one of the Top 5
Debut albums of 2006 by All About Jazz New York. As well as
leading Vertigo, he performs regularly with a number of bands
including the JUNO nominated Jason Wilson and Tabarruk (reggae,
with jazz influences), and in the collective Mr. Pointy (avant-garde
meets groove-rock). He has shared the stage with such great
musicians as David Binney, Bernie Senensky, David Braid, Kirk
MacDonald, Stich Wynston, Nick “The Brownman” Ali,
William Carn, Laila Biali, Norman Marshall-Villeneuve, Mike
Murley, Percy Sledge, Ernest Ranglin, and Brinsely Forde (Aswad)
Michael’s compositions and arrangements have been featured
in the repertoires of many ensembles, including Jason Wilson
& Tabarruk, The Nick Ali Trio, the Bokker Buckle Band, and
the Don Scott Quartet. www.dangerherring.com
