Mike Holober: Wish List
by David Miller
The great thing about jazz is that you may think you know a lot about a lot, but in reality you don't know jack. It seems every time I pop in a new record, I learn about a new artist I've never heard before. In listening to Mike Holober's Wish List, I was lucky enough to ...
Mike Holober and the Gotham Jazz Orchestra: Thought Trains
by Robert R. Calder
Mike Holober's not just another pianist working within long-established post-Bill Evans methods, he's one of the rare very individually creative ones.

Ries, a veteran New York session player and recording artist with three releases under his own name, plays both soprano and tenor ...
Mike Holober: Canyon
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist/composer Mike Holober's songs brim with shifting textures and moods, like the color changes wrought by the inexorbably-shifting angles of sunlight playing upon the striations of a canyon wall.
