ABOUT 'CALLE PIZARRO':
Branching out from his previous releases which focused mainly on the sax/bass/drums trio format, this happy, upbeat song uniquely fuses Mike's childhood love of dancehall reggae & Caribbean music overall with jazz fusion for a catchy summer vibe, inspired by the street Mike lived on at the time (and it's view of an gigantic banyan tree). Five years in the making, this was originally written & recorded in 2019 while a masters student at Berklee's Valencia Spain campus as part of his thesis and is his third single from the upcoming album created during this time, and was premiered live at Auditori Nacional in Madrid, Spain's national concert hall in 2019 to enthusiastic response.
