Pianist Michael Weiss has worked in the bands of Johnny Griffin, Art Farmer, Frank Wess, Lou Donaldson, the Heath Brothers and George Coleman. Also with Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, Clifford Jordan and Pepper Adams. As a bandleader he has headlined at top venues such as the Village Vanguard. Weiss won the 2000 Monk Institute Composition Competition presented by Wayne Shorter.
Selections for Homage came about through what Weiss describes as “a leisurely process of tweaking and editing on the bandstand, the best laboratory for developing and refining ideas in organic fashion.” “I’ll Remember April,” for instance, cooled way down from its typical
uptempo treatment, is particularly adventurous in its orchestration and harmonic reworking. As a result, improvising on the form becomes a new prospect, putting the trio’s subtle chemistry under a microscope.
„Homage,” with an elegant and darkly hued lyricism, “was originally composed as the second movement of a suite,” Weiss explains. “After trying a variety of rhythms, the bolero seemed to fit best. Except for one short solo section, it is entirely composed. While it’s not dedicated to anyone in particular, it feels like an homage nonetheless.” The same can be said for the album Homage as a whole, affording us one of the most intimate and sustained views of Michael Weiss’s artistry to date.
