Michael Moynihan Quartet has returned for their second album, Offering. It is a five-movement suite of musical prayer, each movement corresponding to a different type of Christian prayer: Thanksgiving, Adoration, Confession, Intercession, and Supplication. Offering is Moynihan’s ode to God, in which he lifts up his music unto the Lord, to the glory of God alone.

Offering is scheduled for release on April 16, 2023. Please join Michael Moynihan Quartet for their album release show at The Century Room!

 
 

Michael Moynihan Quartet

An elite ensemble of world-class musicians, Michael Moynihan Quartet embodies jazz artistry at its finest. Following in the footsteps of the great tenor quartets of John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, and Wayne Shorter, MMQ brings poignant originality and stunning virtuosity to bear on a genre struggling to keep its soul. Moynihan’s compositions result from an uninhibited conduit into the subconscious mind, suggesting colors and imagery that challenge and disorient the listener; the full palette of the soul’s potency is on display. The strange, bold, and haunting sounds of the Michael Moynihan Quartet will scare and delight you, making you feel things you did no know or want to think you could.

Moynihan’s motto of “Soli Deo Gloria,” all glory to God alone, is imbued in each and every note, and the music is intended to draw our eyes heavenward as we gaze into infinity, awestruck by the beauty, power, and love of God.
