#14 Mike Bond

Mike Bond is one of my favorite pianists on the New York scene
today. He has performed with Savion Glover, Conrad Herwig, Joe
Magnarelli and Duane Eubanks, to name a few, and is a featured
sideman on guitarist Jean Chaumont’s debut album “The Beauty Of
Differences” which received a 4 star review in Downbeat Magazine.


​As a leader, Bond has performed at Smalls and Mezzrow, as well
as the Central Jersey Jazz Festival, the Canadian Music Festival
in Toronto, and the New York City Winter Jazz Festival. He’s
music director at the non-denominational Jacob’s Well Church in
New Brunswick, N.J., and is a Community Advisory Board member for
the award winning jazz station 88.3 WBGO.


Bond’s debut recording, ‘The Honorable Ones’, produced by
legendary pianist Orrin Evans: features Steve Wilson: alto
saxophone; Josh Evans: trumpet; Ben Wolfe: bass; Anwar Marshall:
drums + guests Gene Shinozaki: Claudia Acuña: Maya Holliday.


The album release will be celebrated on Feb. 24th at Exuberance
in Philadelphia and Feb. 27 at Small’s in NYC.
