Michael Keith Complex

Billed as The Michael Keith Complex, this tight four piece is primed and ready for the lift off of their brand new cd that combines the chances of modern jazz with familiar blues and rock flavours.

Joel Allen - drums
Jim Bish - tenor,clarinet,bass clarinet
Ishvan "hoss" Zsirai - electric bass

Guitarist/composer Michael Keith's music combines elements of free jazz, blues,ambient, bizarre noises and even hints of 20th century composers like Steve Reich. Utilizing various effects and some bizarre techniques his performance should appeal to guitar and music fans alike. Keith's phrasing and innovative style set him apart from the confines and restraints of a one word genre. As a performer, his pace, stage charisma, and humour sets him apart. He is a true original.

Michael Keith

In the last few years he has performed at dozens of festivals (du Maurier jazz, Winnipeg & Calgary folk etc.) played a gazillion clubs all across Canada and worked as a sideman for some very interesting and talented people (Juno Nominee Carlos Del Junco, Jaymz Bee's Royal Jelly Orchestra).
