In 2021, vocalist Michael Mayo emerged as one of jazz’s freshest new voices with Bones, a debut album that combined inventiveness, rhythmic vitality and an easy charm. Its standout track, “You and You,” quickly ricocheted across the internet, introducing listeners to an artist equally at ease with tradition and innovation.
Mayo’s 2024 follow-up, Fly, didn’t quite match the groundbreaking spark of his debut, but it remained a superb album, a work that confirmed him as more than a one-record wonder.
Now comes a Deluxe Edition of Fly, released digitally on Mack Avenue Records. The expanded version adds six newly orchestrated tracks, including large-ensemble reimaginings that deepen and broaden Mayo’s sound world.
The centerpiece is a radiant new take on John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps.” “It’s always been one of my favorite tunes,” Mayo says. “I first heard it at 14, and I knew right then I wanted to improvise over those changes. It took me years of nonstop practice to get comfortable. This version started after I’d moved to New York with nothing but a suitcase, a mic, and a looper pedal. I used what I had, and it turned into this new single.”
The new arrangements, most notably with the Norrbotten Big Band under Calle Rasmusson, bring a full, cinematic dimension to Mayo’s work. Pieces like the title track Fly bloom with orchestral color, while Giant Steps radiates the mixture of virtuosity and playfulness that has made Mayo such a singular voice in contemporary jazz.
