This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.26.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:56, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Michael Cain''' (born April 2, 1966) is a [[pianist]] and [[composer]].<ref>[((AllMusic|class=artist|id=p200248/biography|pure_url=yes)) Allmusic]</ref>

== Biography ==
Cain attended several universities starting with the [[University of North Texas]]. Although initially a jazz major, he found that classical music was occupying more of his time and switched to that major. From there he moved to Los Angeles and continued to study classical piano at the [[University of Southern California]], and finally ended up at the [[California Institute of the Arts]] in [[Valencia, CA]]., where he did both undergraduate and graduate work. Cain received a [[Bachelor's degree]] in [[jazz]] piano in 1988, and a [[Master's degree]] in [[fine arts]] in 1990.

Cain moved to New York in 1990 and began performing with many members of [[M-Base]], a Brooklyn-based collective of musicians, initially with [[Greg Osby]] and later with [[Robin Eubanks]] and [[Lonnie Plaxico]] among others. That same year he recorded his first CD as a leader, ''Strange Omen'', for the [[Candid Records|Candid]] label, a trio recording that features Glen Velez on hand percussion and Bruce Saunders on guitar. Later that year Cain started playing with Jack DeJohnette and joined his group Special Edition.

In 1991, Cain also began playing with the [[Anthony Cox (musician)|Anthony Cox]] quartet which featured [[Dewey Redman]] on saxophone and [[Billy Higgins]] on drums. That group did several European tours and recorded the albums ''Dark Metals'' ([[Antilles Records]]), and ''Factor of Faces'' (Minor Music), which also featured [[Ralph Peterson Jr.|Ralph Peterson]] on drums.

From 1995 to 1997, Cain was an assistant professor in the Jazz and Contemporary Media Department at the [[Eastman School of Music]] in Rochester, New York State.

In 1997, Cain joined the faculty at the [[New England Conservatory of Music]] in Boston where he directed several ensembles, taught classes on rhythm analysis, and taught private piano. During the 1997-98 school year Cain served as the school's Diversity Coordinator, an administrative position that focused on issues of diversity in all its implications at the university level. From 1999 to the present, Cain has been the director of the "Digital Playground", a music education and recording program at the Hoboken Charter School in Hoboken, New Jersey.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://tapeop.com/articles/47/choir-academy/|title=Choir Academy: In The Choir Academy Charter School Basement Studio|website=tapeop.com|language=en|access-date=2018-10-03))</ref> This program teaches music to students from grades 3-12 by helping enable them to create, record, and distribute their own music.<ref>((Cite web |url=https://www.brandonu.ca/Music/People/memberprofile.asp?ID=68 |title=Brandon University - School of Music Faculty/Staff Member Profile |access-date=2017-09-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100209040116/http://www2.brandonu.ca/Music/People/memberprofile.asp?ID=68 |archive-date=2010-02-09 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

Cain was  musical director for the Jose Limón Dance Company's New York premiere of  ''Crossroads'' (2001), a collaboration between composer James Newton and  choreographer Donald McKayle.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/17/arts/dance-review-the-limon-company-stretches-and-steps-into-the-jazz-age.html|title=DANCE REVIEW; The Limón Company Stretches and Steps Into the Jazz Age|last=Kisselgoff|first=Anna|work=The New York Times |date=17 November 2001 |access-date=2018-10-03|language=en))</ref>

During his professional career as a pianist, he has played with and for musicians such as [[Ravi Coltrane]], [[Billy Higgins]], [[Marlena Shaw]], [[Gerald Wilson]], [[James Newton]], [[Billy Hart]], [[Anthony Cox (musician)|Anthony Cox]], [[Greg Osby]], [[Robin Eubanks]], [[Lonnie Plaxico]], [[Jack DeJohnette]], [[Ralph Peterson, Jr.|Ralph Peterson]], [[Dave Holland]], [[Bobby McFerrin]], [[Meshell Ndegeocello]], [[Carlos Ward]], [[Ray Anderson (musician)|Ray Anderson]], [[Charles Neville (musician)|Charles Neville]], [[Hassan Hakmoun]], [[Oliver Lake]], [[Reggie Workman]], [[Mýa]], [[Kip Hanrahan]], [[Noreaga]], [[Cindy Blackman]], [[Joshua Redman]], [[Victor Bailey (musician)|Victor Bailey]], [[Bobby Previte]], [[Frank Lacy]], [[Bennie Maupin]], [[Pheeroan Aklaff]], [[Eric Person]], [[Gary Thomas (musician)|Gary Thomas]], [[Vernon Reid]], [[Marty Ehrlich]], [[Gene Jackson]], [[James Genus]], [[Steve Swallow]], [[Andrew Cyrille]], [[Steve Coleman]], [[John Scofield]], [[Jeff "Tain" Watts]], [[Stanley Turrentine]], [[Don Alias]], and many others.

In 2008, Cain joined the Faculty of Music at [[Brandon University]] in [[Brandon, Manitoba]], Canada, where he leads several ensembles, and teaches jazz curriculum and piano.

The 2015 album ''Sola'' was well reviewed. JazzdaGama said "Michael Cain feels music passionately and colourfully and the expert musicianship and loving care that he puts into his work is obvious."<ref>((Cite news|url=https://jazzdagama.com/music/michael-cain-sola/|title=Michael Cain: Sola - Jazz da Gama|date=2015-10-26|work=Jazz da Gama|access-date=2018-10-03|language=en-US))</ref> ''[[The Huffington Post]]''(('))s review noted that "...Cain’s most recent work has had a distinctively electronic bent to it with colors and textures that seem to borrow from elements of jazz, hip hop and Electronic Dance Music."<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/ralph-a-miriello/-michael-cains-celestial_b_8234352.html|title=Michael Cain's Celestial Sounds on Sola|last=Miriello|first=Ralph A.|date=2015-10-02|website=Huffington Post|language=en-US|access-date=2018-10-03))</ref>
