IfM:jazz |?Mike Moreno – Standards from Film Workshop Freitag, 23. Mai 2025, 10:30 Uhr

After his guitar workshop on Thursday Mike Moreno on Friday will give an inspiring insight in his project “Standards From Film”:
During the Covid lock-downs Mike designed and developed a 14 week course, Standards From Film, which inspired his most recent release. The course itself dives deep into the cultural history and harmonic evolution of 14 Iconic Jazz Standards from the Golden Age of Hollywood. The course was given live during the summers of 2020, '21 and '22, and at IfM we will get a taste and work through a couple of Standards. During Covid Mike also developed a 2 Season, 30 Episode Live Stream Series called The House Guest Live Stream Series on his YouTube Channel MorenoVids, performing with 30 guests guitarists and pianists along with podcast style sit down interviews with some guests. The Interviews are all still online for viewing.

Recognized as one of the leading voices in the Jazz guitar world, Mike has toured extensively and recorded as a leader of his own band, playing his original music to high critical acclaim. As Nate Chinen describes in his 2007 The Gig article in JazzTimes, "There are many other guitarists out there pushing towards a modern ideal, but none with the precise coordinates that Mike Moreno has charted."
Over the years, Mike has worked with The Joshua Redman Elastic Band, Lizz Wright Band, Nicholas Payton Quartet, Stefon Harris Black Out, Me'Shell N'Degeocello, Common, Jason Moran, Terence Blanchard, Robert Glasper, Kendrick Scott Oracle, Ambrose Akinmusire, Gretchen Parlato, Aaron Parks, Claudia Acu?a, Greg Osby 4, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Jeremy Pelt, Jochen Rueckert, John Ellis, Myron Walden, Will Vinson and more.
