New York City
Michail Haynes performs with Ross Patterson on piano.
“Some people would call it cabaret. I call it very dangerous jazz/punk/cabaret/theatre… Think Germany before the war. If you are into intelligence and danger and imagination in the music scene, this is the one for you. I think of him as the Cole Porter of the Apocalypse.”
— Amanda McBroom, singer-songwriter (“The Rose”)
“…Yet, the result proved as exotic as it was bizarre… an intriguing respite from arrangements that often make the same songs sound identical no matter the vocal… perhaps enjoyment of Haynes is an acquired taste, much like escargot or sushi. But like those delicacies, you won’t easily confuse him with others.”
— Peter Leavy, Cabaret Scenes
