Michael Palazzolo, bass, from Windsor, Ontario, Canada brings a sense of melody and groove far beyond his years. Being from the border city, Detroit holds a significant and special place in his life musically. A 2013 graduate of Wayne State University with a degree in Jazz Studies, Palazzolo first came to Bob James’ attention in 2016 through guitarist Perry Hughes. Upon seeing the bassist again a year later, “I immediately noticed how much he had progressed and how seriously he was taking his instrument,” Bob recalled. In the 2018 session together for the recording of Espresso, James felt Palazzolo was more than holding his own alongside more experienced collaborators. “He’s challenged me more than I’ve challenged him,” James said. Michael was also featured on his album and dvd that followed titled “Feel Like Making LIVE!”.
Michael currently teaches Jazz/pop bass at the University of Windsor and is active on the detroit scene when not touring with Bob James.
Michael has two original ballad-like songs released that feature Bob James titled “Abbey” and “Follery Returns From Time, Dreams Remembered”.
