About Chronicles (My Debut CD)

Chronicles isn’t your typical freshman outing for a jazz saxophonist. Mike is killin’ it! The arrangements and compositions are perfect vehicles for this band to display all their talents. Mike is a musician highly deserving of wider recognition. Let this album be the first of many!!
— Brice Winston
...an exceptional debut.

Moynihan displays real maturity in his playing and composing on Chronicles, and his strong band is right there with him all the way.

A very enjoyable album, with none of the tentativeness of some debuts.
