Michael Janisch

Michael Janisch emerged as a force to be reckoned with with his 2010 solo album, Purpose Built, yet almost slipped away under the radar while setting up his own record label, only to build up a headwind of critical approval with his next release, Paradigm Shift. A superb upright and electric player, Michael’s approach is to build everything around his effortless sense of melody, rhythmic ideas and a killer band of hugely imaginative players.
