Michael Janisch (born 2 February 1979) is an American bassist, producer, composer, & record label owner currently residing in London, England. He is the founder and managing director of Whirlwind Recordings. ==Biography== Born in Red Wing, Minnesota and raised in Ellsworth, Wisconsin, Janisch started playing piano at age four and electric bass at age 10. He was equally active in sports throughout his teenage years, mainly American football and track and field, and after high school received a scholarship to attend Minnesota State University, Mankato where he majored in History and played Division II football (running back) and ran track and field (sprinter). An injury in his third season prompted his return to music, a brief transfer to University of Wisconsin-La Crosse music department (where at age 21 he focused exclusively on learning the double bass), and subsequently accepted a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston (2000). After earning a degree in Double Bass Performance and Music Business at Berklee, Janisch relocated to New York City and soon after London, England, the result of meeting his English wife Sarah. He is currently based in the Epsom, Surrey area with Sarah and their two daughters Eliza and Florence. In November of 2008, Janisch, along with co-leader and alto saxophonist Patrick Cornelius released ''Traveling Song'' the debut and only album from The TransAtlantic Collective (TAC), a contemporary jazz ensemble that operated on the international scene during the years 2005-2009, and in that time performed concerts across the USA, UK and Mainland Eastern/Western Europe. During their tours, the TAC featured many notable musicians from both the USA and Europe including pianists Kristjan Randalu, John Escreet, Dan Tepfer, Jason Rebello, trumpeters Quentin Collins, Jay Phelps, Ambrose Akinmusire, Avishai Cohen, and drummers Colin Stranahan and Paul Wiltgen. Janisch released his debut solo album ''Purpose Built'' in January of 2010 featuring Walter Smith III, Patrick Cornelius, Jason Palmer, Johnathan Blake, Aaron Goldberg, Phil Robson, Mike Moreno, Jim Hart, & Paul Booth. His debut album also prompted him to create his own record label, Whirlwind Recordings. In January of 2013 Janisch released ''Banned in London'' along with co-leader & Cuban-born pianist Aruán Ortiz, also featuring Greg Osby, Raynald Colom and Rudy Royston. In June of 2014 Janisch released a collaborative album '' First Meeting: Live in London, Volume 1'' with Lee Konitz, Dan Tepfer & Jeff Williams. Other musicians with whom Janisch have performed or recorded with include Joe Lovano, Dianne Reeves, Seamus Blake, George Garzone, Aaron Parks, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Will Vinson, Mark Turner, Kenny Wheeler, Quincy Jones, Evan Parker, Gary Husband, Shirley Horn, Gary Burton, Ingrid Jensen, Wynton Marsalis, Kurt Elling, Sir John Dankworth, Roy Hargrove & Clarence Penn.
