Countless reviewers on YELP remark how they pleased they were to discover Michael, who surprised them with his versatility and classic renditions of their favorite songs. Michael is happy to take requests.

Michael appears with his jazz trio "Standard Deviation" Sundays and Mondays at the Hillstone Restaurant on the Embarcadero in San Francisco. "Standard Deviation" plays repertoire ranging from Dave Brubeck, Ahmad Jamal, Bill Evans, swinging Sinatra tunes to original acoustic interpretations of Radiohead, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Pink Floyd and the Grateful Dead. The trio, featuring Pat Klobas on acoustic bass and David Rokeach on drums, is available for booking for private parties. Upright bass and piano can also be a great option for a swinging' party!
