- About Me:
- Michael Dimin literally wrote the book on the art of the solo bassist. Through his groundbreaking books, "The Chordal Approach", “The Art of Solo Bass” and “The CORE Method” and his work as a lesson columnist for Bassics Magazine, Bass Player Magazine, and Bass Frontiers Magazine, Mike has brought the concept of solo bass to the fore. Talkbass.com columnist, Max Valentino said of Mike, "Above it all he is a supreme musician, with a singular, unique voice on his instrument.” Mike has taken his revolutionary approach, unparalleled technique and mastery of the instrument and combined it with a sense of musicianship, lyricism and beauty that transcends the site of a solo bassist on stage. Cliff Engel of basically.net states that, “Michael Dimin has elevated the standards in the field of bass artistry. Look out!” Greg Haymes of the Albany Times Union states, “Dimin is in full command of an instrument that gets the spotlight all too rarely.”
Mike has dedicated the past twenty years to expanding the role of the bass and educating a legion of bassists to the possibilities that lie within themselves and their instrument. As a product specialist for MTD Basses, Euphonic Audio and Thomastik-Infeld strings, Mike has been given the opportunity to combine the two things he loves most, playing and teaching bass. Brian Ostro of London, England states, “I find your music incredibly inspiring. Your rendition of "Autumn Leaves" is an amazingly beautiful piece, which gives me many joys. Your looping work has changed the way I see the instrument! Thank you for doing what you do!” Mike pens a video lesson entitled “Bass Alone” for Bassics Magazine and hosts a "pros" forum at www.bassnutz.com. Mike has been featured in Bass Player Magazine, Bassics Magazine, Global Bass Magazine as well on internet sites such as Talkbass, Bassnutz and The International Institute of Bass. He has conducted workshops, master classes and performances from Los Angeles to Istanbul and has been featured at some of the most prestigious bass events such as The Anaheim Bass Bash, BassQuake 2003, The Detroit Bass Festival, The Bass Collective and more.
Joe Pass inspired chord melodies seamlessly integrated with spontaneous loops create lush arrangements of everything from Jazz standards to R&B and pop classics to Mike’s original ethereal, melodic jazz. His sense of melody and soloing has been compared to everyone from Kenny Burrell to Pat Metheny and his innovation on the bass has been mentioned in the same breath as the legends, Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten. His CD “Big Droppins” fills the void left by the loss of Jaco Pastorius” says the John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize winner, Pat Humphries. David Winstead says, “Your playing continues to amaze everyone.”
