Release Date: April 22 2024
Mike Casey's upcoming 9th album, set for release in September/October 2024, marks a significant departure from his previous works. The first single, dropping on April 22, offers listeners a captivating journey into cinematic crossover jazz fusion. Unlike his earlier focus on the sax/bass/drums trio format, this track showcases a rich ensemble of instruments including saxophone, harp, guitar, organ, piano, bass, and drums.
Crafted and recorded back in 2019, this piece features the talents of Colescott Rubin, a recent contestant on American Idol, on bass.
Here are some recent highlights from Mike's career:
The "Remote (WPAA TV Session)" from his 8th release in November climbed to the top 40 viral charts on Sound.xyz after winning the Optimism.io grant.
Despite the rarity of instrumental jazz gaining mainstream radio support, Mike received crossover recognition from BBC 6 (with 3 out of 4 tracks) and Triple J's soul show (Space Chill) for his 8th release in November 2023.
His track "Space Chill (WPAA TV Session)" has been in weekly rotation on Jazz FM, the world's largest jazz radio station, since September.
Mike was selected as one of the 16 artists in the GRAMMYs' 'Next' Class of 2023.
He made his scoring debut in a top 10 Netflix show, "Spy Ops".
His catalog has surpassed 50 million streams, and he has recently signed with booking agents for North America and Eastern Europe.
Mark your calendars for April 22, 2024, to experience the latest musical offering from Mike Casey.
