The Monday Night Experimental Cabaret

Mike Bisio

“…his work has been likened to David Izenzon, Charlie Haden and Mingus and for good reason.” – Laurence Donohue-Greene – All About Jazz New York
In a flurry of activity over the last ten years, Bisio has played and/or recorded with Barbara Donald, Wayne Horvitz, Bob Nell, Andrew Hill, Sonny Simmons, John Tchicai, Bern Nix, Jim Nolet, Joe McPhee, Vinny Golia, Van Manakas, Greg Bendian, Carter Jefferson, Charles Gayle, and Marilyn Crispell. He has crossed the country twice with Gayle and toured the West Coast with his own quartet.Today, Michael Bisio continues to tour and compose music for solo, duo, trio, and quartet. He is back in his native Troy, NY for a while; while keeping busy playing New York avant-garde jazz scene like the very hot The Stone , he also integrated the Albany scene and plays frequently with George Muscatello, the Brian Patneaude quartet and Nicole Peyrafitte.
