Welcome to Mike Murray Sounds

I'm a Berklee grad who has also received a masters degree in jazz composition from the New England Conservatory having studied with Jon Damian, Jimmy Giuffre, George Russell and Mick Goodrick. I have performed and/or recorded with Paul Flaherty, Randall Colbourne, the late Thomas Chapin, Royal Hartigan, Scott Thornton, Matt Moran, Rich McGhee, Steve Marien and many others in and around the New England/NY area. I now make my home in the Pacific Northwest.

About

Musician and Composer/Improviser

Elements of jazz, rock, noise, microtonal and world traditions have all made their way into my music. Whether involved in original composition, spontaneous composition, free improvisation, the great American songbook or somewhere in between I'm always pushing to explore new territory.

My intention is quite simple - to play the best music I possibly can with the best musicians I can find to help raise the collective consciousness. Everything else is secondary.
