Michael Mayo's Fly, released in 2024 on Artistry Music, is a stunning showcase of one of contemporary jazz's most compelling vocal talents. Backed by an all-star ensemble featuring drummer Nate Smith, pianist Shai Maestro, and bassist Linda May Han Oh, Mayo delivers a performance of remarkable warmth and authenticity — no vocal gymnastics, just pure, genuine artistry.
The album blends Mayo-penned originals like the infectious "Bag of Bones" and the heartfelt title track with jazz standards reimagined through his singular lens, including "Just Friends," "It Could Happen to You," and "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most." With hooks that lodge immediately in the consciousness and deeply emotive performances throughout, Fly is a thoroughly captivating listen that stands as a bold statement from an artist at the top of his game.
