Amerikansk stjernevokalist blander jazz og soul i medrivende og overraskende retninger
Hvilken slags jazz spiller de?
Den store amerikanske vokalist Michael Mayo og hans band spiller en skøn blanding af svingende jazz, neo-soul og R&B - ofte krydret med tekniske finesser som loop-pedaler, der skaber komplekse lag af vokalharmonier. Han er kendt for at benytte sin stemme som et instrument på linje med en saxofon eller en trompet.
Hvad skal jeg vide om dem?
Han er opvokset i et musikalsk hjem i Los Angeles som søn af musikere for ikoner som Diana Ross og Earth, Wind & Fire. Mayo var blot den tredje vokalist nogensinde, der blev optaget på det prestigefyldte Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz (nu Herbie Hancock Institute), hvor han blev undervist af legender som Herbie Hancock og Wayne Shorter. Herhjemme har han senest begejstret publikum i samarbejde som solist for DR Big Band.
Hvad skriver anmelderne?

🇬🇧 ENGLISH:
What kind of jazz do they play?
The great American vocalist Michael Mayo and his band play a wonderful mix of swinging jazz, neo-soul and R&B - often spiced with technical finesse such as loop pedals that create complex layers of vocal harmonies. He is known for using his voice as an instrument on a par with a saxophone or a trumpet.
What should I know about them?
He was raised in a musical home in Los Angeles as the son of musicians for icons such as Diana Ross and Earth, Wind & Fire. Mayo was only the third vocalist ever to be admitted to the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz (now Herbie Hancock Institute), where he was taught by legends such as Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Here in Denmark, he has most recently thrilled audiences in collaboration as a soloist for the DR Big Band.
