Michael Manring
Hailed by many as the world's leading solo bassist, Michael Manring has been pushing back the boundaries of what's possible on the bass guitar for decades. While his technical skill and innovations always make an impression, it is his ability to communicate on a profound emotional level that most touches listeners. As editor Tom Darter wrote in Keyboard magazine after seeing one of Michael's solo concerts, "Forget his astounding technique and musicality; forget his absolute command of his instruments; forget how seamlessly the musical ideas and the performance of them were wedded together...The enlightenment came most from feeling (seeing, hearing) the joy Michael felt to be playing his brand of transcendental chops and musical understanding...was all in the service of the final outcome, the joy of making music."
In his solo concerts Michael weaves together his musical influences into a tapestry rich with expression,virtuosity, humor and meaning. As one writer put it, "Michael Manring
can do more with a bass than even the most creative individual could imagine" (L.Pierce Carson, Napa Valley Register). His newest release Soliloquy, performed entirely solo without overdubs, is the best recorded example yet of that depth and diversity. Using a variety of bass guitars and the far-reaching, innovative approaches he is renowned for, with Enhanced CD content including Michael's extensive 24-page liner notes detailing the composing and recording process, photos and live performance videos, Soliloquy takes the listener on a unique musical journey. We hope you'll follow the advice of the French magazine, Musicien: "Do not miss your next opportunity to discover the bassist with the most fresh and inventive playing today."
