<b>2020 Grammy Nominated for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Album</b>

There isn't any mystery about maestro Mike Holober, one of the most acclaimed and distinguished jazz composers, arrangers, & bandleaders of our era. He has enjoyed a long and successful career, in which he has served as the artistic director of the Gotham Jazz Orchestra and Westchester Jazz Orchestra; guest conductor of the HR Big Band and WDR Big Band in Germany; & Associate Director of the BMI Jazz Composer's Workshop, where he taught with Director Jim McNeely from 2007-2015. The brainchild of founding directors Bob Brookmeyer and Manny Albam, The BMI Jazz Composers Workshop is widely considered the 'finishing school' for jazz orchestra writers, and today's jazz scene is heavily populated by composers who have honed their craft under Holober's tutelage.

As arranger/conductor, Holober has written concert projects for a wide variety of artists ranging from Miguel Zenon, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Avishai Cohen, and Eli Degibri - representing the highest standard for a younger generation - to elder jazz masters such as Dr. Lonnie Smith and Al Foster. Over the course of his career he has written & conducted for a veritable Who's Who of jazz all-stars, including John Patitucci, Paquito D'Rivera, John Scofield, Joe Lovano, Randy Brecker, and many others. In addition, he has been awarded the prestigious Chamber Music America New Jazz Works Grant and serves as a full professor at the City College of New York, where he was also named the inaugural Stewart Z. Katz Professor of Humanities and the Arts in 2018.

Holober is one of the most recognized jazz masters of our time. Fans have been yearning for him to create a new seminal opus, something that showcases Holober on his terms, without compunction, and very much as the leader of his musical enterprise.

This double-disc album Hiding Out is an adventurous, risk-taking, well-crafted production that showcases the comprehensive virtuosity of Holober's superlative skills as a composer & arranger. adventure. - Kabir Sehgal
