What a nice delightful sound. Michele Faber has put together a great quartet that includes some musicians that are well steeped in the music here in
The quartet played songs that
ranged from classics standards like “Skylark”, to Brazilian flavored tunes like
“Feliciadad” to funny covers like Horace Silver’s “Juicy Lucy” and on to a few
of Michele’s own original compositions.
Just as wonderful as the sound of piano, bass, drums and guitar can get,
Michele is takes us through some very delicious melodies leaving plenty of room
for each of her counterparts to spread their wings and fly. Michele captures an
essence of creativity that still maintains the solid structure of the tune,

Although Michele did not
verbally say too many words, (she left that up to me), musically, she read like

like to catch up on some good reading, either see this group live or check out
the latest disc by Michele called “The Mar Vista Sessions”. Weather blusing,
waltzing or on the boundaries of original music, the Michele Faber Quartet
takes you on a wonderful feel good journey that I am sure you will enjoy!
