Jazz Musician

Michael O'Neill, as reviewed by Michael Bowen, “..sounds as if he could improvise all night without ever repeating himself once. He hovers between mastery and greatness. His saxophone work is extraordinary.” Michael has been active in the last several years in the Bay Area, leading various types of jazz groups. Besides his small group performances, Michael has performed with several of the Bay Area's leading big bands including a two year stint with the Contemporary Jazz Orchestra. He has played at all the leading jazz venues in the Bay Area including Yoshi´s, Jazz at Pearl´s, the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society and Bruno´s, both as a leader of his own groups and as a sideman with others.
