"Bassist Mike Georgin... funky, earthy grooves"
- Bass Player Magazine
"Mike Georgin has a nice tone and is a well-rounded musician capable of wearing all of the hats (and sometimes be willing to throw them out the window) necessary to play music with this level of freedom."
-Bass Frontiers Magazine
Mike Georgin, bass player for the local avant-garde jazz band Slant, has arrived as a solo artist with the release of The Line Between. For the most part, solo Georgin, like Slant, straddles a line between middle period Pink Floyd jazz oddities and contemporary Middle Eastern trance music. Throw in a little Charles Mingus/ Miles Davis and you have a good idea of the scope of The Line Between . The songs on the album range from jazzy, Saturday morning cartoons to plodding bass with no percussion or accompaniment that, while they may not be perfect takes, are impeccible aesthetically. The production on the album lays every sound out seperately for you to focus on or file away, while the sheer length of the individual tracks, such as the eight- minute opus "So What", is pretty effective in driving home the themes and feelings that Georgin is shooting for.
