AARON MICHAEL – AARON MICHAEL

Aaron Michael is one of the most in-demand session musicians in Australian music today as a master of the tenor saxophone.

As well as being co-founder of the Sonic Mayhem Orchestra, Michael’s solid wealth of experience means that expectations from his debut album are high.

The self-titled release features a range of Sydney’s finest musicians in support, Matt McMahon, Paul Derricott, Duncan Brown and Dieter Kleemann are as much stars on this album as Michael.

This eight-track jazz offering fits all the musical pieces together to form an enjoyable listen that elevates Michael’s obvious skill. (LL)
