Mike Pope is best described as a rare triple threat in the music world. An equally capable acoustic and 6-string electric bass guitar player, he is a world-renowned solo artist, sideman, composer, and faculty member at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where he widely employs his considerable skills at the piano.
Raised in Bowling Green, OH, by two world-class pianists, Mike left at age 18 to attend the University of North Texas, ultimately migrating to New York City at the recommendation of Michael Brecker, whom he met during a clinic at the school. Pope hit the ground running and began playing and recording with Michael and Randy Brecker, Chuck Loeb, Mike Stern, Joe Locke, Jeff ‘Tain' Watts and Al DiMeola. He released two solo albums, Walk Your Dogma and Lay of the Land, while amassing additional credits with Chick Corea, Bill Bruford, David Sanborn, Geoffrey Keezer, and Manhattan Transfer.
Pope has toured in support of his third release, Cold Truth, Warm Heart, and is announcing the impending release of his fourth solo project, The Parts You Keep. This newest offering is an exploration of Mike’s 35+ year career, and seeks to unify the various versions of himself recognizable as he moved from phase to phase of his life. The hope being to define his current identity as an aggregate of all the best “parts” from each phase. The parts we all hope to keep with us.
