Michael O’Neill, a San Diego native, began studying
clarinet at an early age. His first mentor was his neighbor, the great jazz and
studio drummer, John Guerin. After the usual involvement with school bands and
orchestras, Michael did a stint in the Air Force Band. In college, while
majoring in Biology, he minored in music studying composition and arranging as
well as jazz performance. After a brief career in science, Michael returned to
music full time, studying saxophone with the great Joe Henderson while playing
in dance bands, salsa bands and doing local jazz gigs. During this time Michael
became interested in composition and formed groups to perform his original
material, a trend that is ongoing today. Besides jazz composition, Michael’s
interests have taken him into orchestral and ethnic musical forms. In the
1980's he began writing music for documentaries and television for which he now
has a long list of credits. Jazz performance residencies as leader include 13
years at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon bay, 7 years at Cetrella Half Moon Bay and
6 years at the Hotel Sofitel in Redwood Shores. Michael has performed and/or
recorded with Idris Muhammad, Joe Locke, Michael Wolff, Giacomo Gates, Geoffrey
Keezer, Maria Muldaur, Eddie Fisher, Rodney Jones, Kim Nalley, Jackie Ryan,
Tony Lindsay, Margie Baker, Faye Carol, Brenda Boykin, Jeff Chambers, Rob
