Green, the debut effort by bassist Darren Michaels, offers listeners a melodic experience regardless of musical background (or lack thereof). His bass stylings are occasionally accompanied by an ensemble, but Green also offers several entirely solo bass pieces. Darren makes his solo compositions sound like multiple basses in tracks layered on top of each other, but they are actually played with just one bass and all at one time. He also uses loops in an innovative way to elevate the bass from a background-only status to that of a grand compositional tool. It's unlike any other looping. The album was recorded live with few overdubs and retains its live feel throughout. The entire album is unlike any other bass album. With its hooks, harmonies, and beautiful melodies, this album is an enjoyable listen that's sure to be revisited again and again.

Darren Michaels does not disappoint! I'm a bass fan to the core and Green deserves a cheer and a listen. Listening to the different tracks I think of Pattitucci, Manring, Tisdale and Wooten. Darren coaxes some awesome and varied sounds that groove on this album that makes it a must have in any bassist collection. Definitely a name to look out for in the future!

The best recording of a Warwick bass that I have heard to date! Amazing debut by a gifted musician and artist. A MUST HAVE CD! You are about to enter a dimension not only of rhythm and melody, but of harmony. That's the GREEN sign post up ahead..Your next stop, the Bottomzone!!

This cd rocks pure and simple. It's got a great to listen to over and over again and never gets old and there isn't a weak track amongst the bunch. I'd recomend this to any music lover I know.
