12-PART BLOG SERIES: My Week With Chick Corea










--feat. Damian Erskine, Reinhardt Melz, John Nastos, Brandon Woody, Rafael Trujillo, Patrick Lamb, Tim Jensen

"I knew this guy was up to something; what a great disc! Beautifully written and played with passion and intensity by an excellent band. This is one of those CDs that you want to hear again 
as soon as it
's finished. Bravo Mike!"
 
-- George Whitty (Brecker Brothers
)


‎"The album’s intriguing melodies, odd time signatures, and ear-bending harmonies make it a stand-out album in the world of fusion." -- No Treble

"Watch out for this guy! Mike is terribly brave, a
dventurous, playful,
and adept. As his compositions and playing demonstrate, Mr. Prigodich is a rising talent following his creative muse fearlessly to wherever it takes him.
"
 
-- David Goldblatt (Tribal Tech)



"This is band is top shelf; they were super tight and super exciting." 
-- George Colligan (Jack DeJohnette, Lenny White
)


"Prigodich speaks a musical language all his own, one born of a voice that elevates his instrument far beyond its realm into one where mystery and magic meet." -- All About Jazz

"Prigodich is an excellent keyboardist, but it's his writing that really stands out. There is a liveliness and emotional connection to much of this music that makes it immediately endearing. His band is tight and funky, with an ability to groove that puts many better-known fusion outfits to shame." -- All About Jazz

"What do Chick Corea and Spinal Tap have in common? That would be Portland keyboardist Mike Prigodich." 




"A tour de force that would certainly get the respect of Prigodich’s muse Chick Corea. In the tradition of The Yellowjackets, The Brecker Brothers, Hiromi and others, the 11 tracks on A STITCH IN TIME cover a vast fusion landscape of complex proportions that’ll have you wondering how an artist like Mike Prigodich could ever consider sitting on the sidelines. The entire project is an incredibly satisfying ride." -- Inside MusiCast

"Mike offers melodic breadth with very defined piano craft. He is an astonishing musician and a brilliant composer. His original works are studies in precision. They are demanding and they require the very best of musicians to perform them. He has gathered the best of the best and the results are scintillating." -- JazzTimes

"I definitely hear a Chick influence in your playing and writing. I'm flattered that you cite me as an influence."
