The most recent member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet is bassist, Michael Moore, an acknowledged master of his instrument, and leader of his own duo and trio that features the bass as a solo instrument. Michael Moore has brought new recognition to an instrument once primarily regarded as a timekeeper.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Michael?s musical training began at the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. After joining the Woody Herman Band at the age of twenty, Michael became an important player in the New York jazz scene. In the next few years he recorded and performed with the Who?s Who of jazz. John S. Wilson of the New York Times described Michael as "one of the most consistently brilliant bassists in recent history.

Michael has recorded four albums thus far with Dave Brubeck: Classical Brubeck was recorded at Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra; Park Avenue South, The Gates of Justice and the soon to be released London Flat, London Sharp.
