Dutch jazz pianist and composer noted for virtuosic piano technique, trio recordings and reinterpretations that bridge jazz, fusion and classical roots.

Reviews on DeBaser highlight solo piano work, piano/bass/drums trio recordings, acoustic reinterpretations of Weather Report material, and collaborations with high-profile sidemen (mentioned: Jeff "Tain" Watts, Jesse Van Ruller, Stefen Lievestro, Pascal Vermeer).

Three DeBaser reviews (all 5-star) praise Michiel Borstlap's pianistic excellence, trio interplay and inventive arrangements. Reviews highlight Gramercy Park (triple set with solo, duo/electronic and trio discs), Body Acoustic (Weather Report reinterpretations) and Coffee and Jazz (trio recorded after North Sea Jazz). Readers repeatedly note strong collaborators and classical roots in his touch.

For:Jazz listeners, piano-trio fans, followers of contemporary jazz and fusion

 folks, this is truly a huge contemporary artist!

 Body Acoustic is the reinterpretation-homage of eight beautiful tracks from the vast production of Weather Report (frankly, according to this humble writer, perhaps for sentimental reasons, there is nothing bad this group has ever put on record, not even "This Is This", made for contractual reasons at the end of the "journey").

 Highly recommended to those who love extremely high-quality jazz, "no-compromises".
