As a sought-after background vocalist\, mom shined alongside Beyoncé\, Diana Ross\, Luther Vandross\, and Whitney Houston. Meanwhile\, dad not only sang\, but also performed saxophone for Earth\, Wind & Fire and horns for the likes of Sérgio Mendes. Among his most formative memories\, Michael recalls “being backstage\, watching Mom and Dad perform\, and seeing them in their element.” \nUnlocking the power of his voice\, he eventually attended the New England Conservatory of Music and at The Thelonious Monk Institute at UCLA (now the Hancock Institute of Jazz). 2018 saw him make waves with the single “No More” [with Amber Navran]. Following his graduation\, he unveiled his full-length debut\, Bones\, in 2021 and cumulatively generated millions of streams accelerated by “The Way” and “You and You.” Earning critical acclaim\, Jazzwise rated it “4-stars\,” and JAZZIZ raved\, “Michael Mayo has developed his own lush\, neo-soul sound that adroitly showcases his clear tenor\, which glides over luxuriant clouds of his multi-tracked vocals.” He captivated audiences worldwide\, headlining his own gigs and touring with the likes of Herbie Hancock. Not to mention\, he even garnered the German Jazz Pride award. \nIn October 2023\, he relocated from Brooklyn back to L.A. Getting into a groove\, he wrote the majority of what would become FLY at home. During January 2024\, he retreated to Bunker Studio in Brooklyn\, recording the album in just two days with pianist Shai Maestro as well as Linda May Han Oh on upright and electric bass\, and in-demand drummer extraordinaire Nate Smith. Together\, the musicians collectively harnessed their incredible chemistry during the sessions\, giving the music gravity\, muscle\, and soul anchored by their performances. \nNow\, he introduces FLY with the single “Four.” On the track\, he delivers a lively arrangement of the original Miles Davis melody of the same name. Opening up this world\, jazzy piano gives way to steady claps. Michael alternates between fluttering vocals and a buoyant bebop-style harmony bouncing and surging with flare and finesse. A loose bassline propels the bridge\, and his words strike a deep chord\, “Of the wonderful things that you get out of life\, there are four.” \nMENU:\nFirst Course:\nChilled Green Asparagus: arugula\, parmesan\, tonnato\nOr\nCharred Octopus: almond-hazelnut picada\, artichoke \nMain Course:\nRoasted Salmon: smoked buckwheat\, rhubarb\, vanilla bean sauce\nOr\nRolled Chicken: seven spice\, mushroom shawarma\, cauliflower \nDessert:\nApricot-Almond Financière: chocolate-cardamom ice cream\nOr\nRhubarb Cake: orange Bavarian\, buttermilk ice cream \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n RESERVE TABLE\n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\nLEARN MORE URL:https://bluellamaclub.com/event/sean-dobbins-quartet/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://bluellamaclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/SeanDobbinsBNW.jpg-sqLg.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20250719T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20250719T213000 DTSTAMP:20250711T173544Z CREATED:20250619T213732Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250711T173544Z UID:10000024-1752949800-1752960600@bluellamaclub.com SUMMARY:The Lunar Octet DESCRIPTION:Fri | May 29 \n\n \n \n Michael Mayo\n \n \n\n\n \n \n Doors 5:30pm Show 7pm\nDoors 8:30pm Show 9pm\n$95 Dinner & Show\n$50 Cover Only \n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n RESERVE TABLE\n \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n About the Artist\n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n 2025 Downbeat Critics Award – Rising Male Vocalist – celebrates the Deluxe Edition of Michael Mayo's critically acclaimed Mack Avenue release FLY. Mayo leans on his intuition as a vocalist\, composer\, songwriter\, and arranger.

Much like molding and shaping a sculpture out of clay\, he stretches his voice through layers of heavenly harmonizing\, hard-hitting beatboxing\, and heartfelt crooning. \nThe Los Angeles-based phenomenon creates from the heart without filter or pretense\, allowing his voice to transmit raw emotion above an ever-evolving backdrop of jazz\, neo-soul\, and R&B on his second full-length LP\, FLY [Mack Avenue Records/Artistry Music]. \nBorn and raised in Los Angeles\, music quite literally surrounded him. As a sought-after background vocalist\, mom shined alongside Beyoncé\, Diana Ross\, Luther Vandross\, and Whitney Houston. Meanwhile\, dad not only sang\, but also performed saxophone for Earth\, Wind & Fire and horns for the likes of Sérgio Mendes. Among his most formative memories\, Michael recalls “being backstage\, watching Mom and Dad perform\, and seeing them in their element.” \nUnlocking the power of his voice\, he eventually attended the New England Conservatory of Music and at The Thelonious Monk Institute at UCLA (now the Hancock Institute of Jazz). 2018 saw him make waves with the single “No More” [with Amber Navran]. Following his graduation\, he unveiled his full-length debut\, Bones\, in 2021 and cumulatively generated millions of streams accelerated by “The Way” and “You and You.” Earning critical acclaim\, Jazzwise rated it “4-stars\,” and JAZZIZ raved\, “Michael Mayo has developed his own lush\, neo-soul sound that adroitly showcases his clear tenor\, which glides over luxuriant clouds of his multi-tracked vocals.” He captivated audiences worldwide\, headlining his own gigs and touring with the likes of Herbie Hancock. Not to mention\, he even garnered the German Jazz Pride award. \nIn October 2023\, he relocated from Brooklyn back to L.A. Getting into a groove\, he wrote the majority of what would become FLY at home. During January 2024\, he retreated to Bunker Studio in Brooklyn\, recording the album in just two days with pianist Shai Maestro as well as Linda May Han Oh on upright and electric bass\, and in-demand drummer extraordinaire Nate Smith. Together\, the musicians collectively harnessed their incredible chemistry during the sessions\, giving the music gravity\, muscle\, and soul anchored by their performances. \nNow\, he introduces FLY with the single “Four.” On the track\, he delivers a lively arrangement of the original Miles Davis melody of the same name.
