The Five Spot Jazz Quintet features five musicians who have a deep feel for the jazz tradition. All five could be leaders in their own right. Together the band is even better than the sum of its parts.
Hailing from Dursley, England, pianist Mike Greensill might be best known in the Bay Area as resident piano player on Sedge Thomson's weekly Public Radio show, "West Coast Live," as well as his role as musical director to vocalist Wesla Whitfield, with whom he's recorded more then twenty albums. He regularly appears with the best Bay Area players and tours nationally. Not just a superlative pianist, he's also a gifted composer. The band showcases Mike's compositions and some tasty vocals too....
