My Windham Hill Artist for Today...Michael Manring(for Dayv)
One thing I really respected about Will Ackerman, he know talent when he saw it and Michael Manring is not exception. To me he has to be one of the best bassist around. This is so ironic because Michael was going to be my next artist I was going to post and Dayv(and welcome by the way 
) left this comment for me....
"The only Windham Hill artist that I'm well-versed in is Michael Manring. How do you feel about his innovative music? As a bass player, I find his solo works fascinating. The technique in this song, for example, is awe-striking, yet takes a backseat to the musicality of the song as a song."

Thank you for your comment Dayv
Dayv summed it up for me as well because not only is he a great soloist but when he toured with Montreux he knew how to play within a ensemble as well and to me that to me shows how humble is as well. He knows when to step forward and step back. Hope you enjoy the tunes today.
Here I'm posting a song from his solo project and a couple of songs from when he recorded with Montreux
Hear is a solo piece by Michael...no looping and no overdubs...
Here is a couple of tracks from when he recorded with Montreux...
