Michael Moore

The most recent member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, bassist Michael Moore, is an acknowledged master of his instrument, as well as a leader of his own duo and trio which feature the bass as a solo instrument. Born in Cincinnati, Michael started his musical training at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. After joining the Woody Herman band at age 20, he became an important player in the New York jazz scene, recording and performing with such artists as Marian McPartland, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, Chet Baker, John Scofield, Tony Bennett, and many others. John S. Wilson of the New York Times called Michael “one of the most consistently brilliant bassists in recent history.”
