After a miraculous triumph over a four year battle with a rare form of misdiagnosed cancer that had him at death’s door, internationally renowned pianist/composer Michael Wolff continues to celebrate his incredible recovery and life on “Memoir,” his first studio album in four years, set for release August 2, 2024.

In “Memoir” Michael Wolff is with his longtime collaborators bassist Ben Allison and drummer Allan Mednard, the 11-track collection is a deeply inspired compilation of new music and fresh interpretations of some of Wolff’s favorite unreleased original compositions he decided to revisit. True to its title, “Memoir” is a rhythmically dynamic, yet simultaneously soulful exploration that showcases the rich, intricate quality of Wolff’s playing and the musicianship of all three artists. With over 21 solo albums to his credit, ”Memoir” is one of Wolff’s most personal and significant records to date. “I wanted every note and song to resonate emotionally with the listener and reflect the journey of my experiences. This album conveys a feeling that’s very personal and thoughtful, but still has great energy,” stated Wolff.
