Michael Kocour

“Michael Kocour, a brilliant pianist and composer. He plays with remarkable creativity and a technique to die for. Sparkling ideas fly from his fingers making harmonic sophistication the order of the day.” Marian McPartland

“Mike Kocour’s careful yet fearless choice of notes and intervals come from the deepest grotto of his heart, and his extraordinary ability enables him to give life to things that had no prior existence. Mike's playing is a breath of fresh air in an asphyxiating world. Listen to him —as I do.” Benny Golson
