CJC is proud to present acclaimed pianist Michael Cain on his first visit to Aotearoa New Zealand
Pianist and composer Michael Cain began gaining international recognition in the mid 1980’s while still a student at the California Institute of the Arts, performing, touring, and recording with jazz greats James Newton, jazz vocalist Marlena Shaw, the Gerald Wilson Orchestra, and drummer Billy Higgins among others. After moving to New York in 1990, Cain became a first call pianist, working with drum legend Jack DeJohnette for nine years, as well as Dave Holland, Steps Ahead, Ravi Coltrane, Bobby McFerrin, Terence Blanchard, Stanley Turrentine, Lauren Hill, Pat Metheny, Charles Neville, Christian McBride, Vernon Reid, Robin Eubanks, and Meshell N'degeocello among others.
He has received numerous awards, including a 2006 Grammy nomination for Dance of the Infidel, Meshell N'degeocello's release on which Michael is pianist and co-arranger. He has recorded several records as sideman and a leader, including Circa, his 1996 ECM release which featured Ralph Alessi and Peter Epstein. Michael’s latest release is entitled Hoo Doo and is available on iTunes.
This will be Michael Cain's first-ever performance in Aotearoa/New Zealand, bringing his unique blend of traditional and electronic jazz.
He’s joined by Keith Price, with Cam McArthur & Ron Samsom.
