From swing to hard bop with a little bit of the Mississippi Delta thrown in, Mike DiBari embraces the many sounds of classic jazz and blues guitar. When one hears Mike play the blues, you just can't help getting that low down feeling. His original compositions align bebop with a dash of the contemporary but still swing like crazy. Worcester Magazine's Noah Schaffer said, "DiBari always hits the mark regardless of whether he's shooting from the hip on hard blues, plucking out delicate lines on a ballad, or keeping the groove on an upbeat jump tune."

His trio is captivating, featuring a delicate interplay between guitar, bass and drums. For more than three years they resided every Friday night at Boston's Marriott Long Wharf Hotel attracting jazz fans both local and abroad. The Swingtet is thrilling with their mini big band and jump blues arrangements. The band has become a favorite with dancers all over New England. Throughout, one thing is constant; Mike DiBari sure can swing! His friend and local blues shouter, Sweet Willie D, has bestowed upon him the title of 'Swingmaster', which he continues to live up to on every gig he plays...

What's New (updated August 2, 2008)
I'm very excited and proud to announce that I'm now a VOX artist! You can read my interview at the Vox website by following this link http://www.voxamps.co.uk/artists/MikeDiBari.asp

I talk about my playing, some current projects I'm working on, and the new Vox Valetronix amp I've been using. It's one of the best amps I've ever owned and I still can't get over how much it sounds and feels like a tube amp. Check it out!
