Inspired by his teacher Jaco Pastorius, Manring has taken the electric bass into new territory. A native of the Washington, DC, area, he played classical bass in high school chamber groups and orchestra while also working in local Top 40 bands. From 1979 to 1982, he honed his chops in the DC fusion group Natural Bridge and also started performing with guitarist Michael Hedges. Manring played on Hedges's Windham Hill debut Breakfast in the Fields. Since then, the bassist has become the Windham Hill session man, recording on albums by Will Ackerman, Ira Stein, and Russel Walder in addition to his frequent tours with Hedges. Manring is a also a key member in the label's all-star band, Montreux. ~ Linda Kohanov, Rovi
brilliant artist, beautiful soul. I listened to soliloquy when going through cancer treatments. What a gift.

I've been listening to Michael for years. I had the honor of studying with him in the '90's. Great player. Great human being. Try to find his earlier works: Unusual Weather, Toward the Center of Night, and Drastic Measures.
I just recently discovered this bassist on YouTube. Inspirational playing for sure, but I'm not sold on all the detuning/tuning. It makes for beautiful music, but somehow seems a bit unnatural (gimmicky?).
He's an absolutely phenomenal bass player and musician. He definitely possesses monster chops. Michael Manring is a gift to the music world. You can really hear the Jaco influences in his uptempo music.
