About
The Guitar of Michael M
I play nylon-string (classical-style) guitar for a clean and engaging sound in Jazz, Brazilian, Latin, and Pop styles.
Learn more about my projects below.
Ponticello Duo
My main project is Ponticello Duo with cellist Laura Boytz.
The two instruments naturally complement each other. I love accompanying Laura, but it also sounds excellent when Laura plays amazing "rhythm guitar" on the cello when I take my turn playing a melody or a solo.
We have a deep repertoire of American Songbook standards, beautiful Bossas and Boleros, and fun pop and R&B songs.
We can expand the duo with bass and/or percussion.
SFO Frequent Flyers
This trio started playing at a restaurant near the airport. Frequently.. A jazz approach for sure, but we also do Brazilian, Pop, and R&B. We like to have fun, but at a volume level that doesn't spoil your fun.
