"Insulation" consists of nine original compositions written and arranged by Mike. Featured on the album are Mike Kennedy- guitar, Mike Frank-piano, Paul Gehman-bass, and Dan Monaghan-drums. 'There are several characteristics of this album which make it well worth a listen. For one thing, Kennedy's sonority and technique are supremely lucid and beautiful. You'll rarely hear jazz guitar playing that is so well-appointed and comfortable to the ear. For another, Kennedy's improvising is well-nigh flawless. Kennedy is one of few musicians who never plays a bad note or has embarrassing pauses when he can't think of anything. Every phrase is carefully nuanced and in synch with the harmonics and the overall trajectory of the tune. If you were going on a plane trip, you'd want a pilot as seamless and competent to take you there.' - Victor L. Schermer; AllAboutJazz.com
