Michael Feinberg Music

Hailed as a "musical prodigy turned evil genius" (Spinner) bassist Michael Feinberg has quickly "become one of the premier young artists on the New York scene" (Jazz Inside Magazine). Raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Michael began his music career on the bandstand as a member of Grammy-nominated trumpeter Russell Gunn’s quartet. Performing every week at Churchill Grounds, 18-year-old Michael held the bass chair for six months until he left for the University of Miami. As a sophomore at UM, Michael recorded his debut record “Harajuku" which helped him to earn a residency at Betty Carter’s Jazz Ahead at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
