He is a recipient of the Don Banks Music Award and in inductee of the Australian Jazz Bell Awards Hall of Fame. Mike has released a plethora of critically acclaimed albums under his own name on many international labels including his own label FWM.
Jonathan Zwartz (also originally from NZ) and Sydney native Hamish Stuart form one of Australia’s great musical partnerships. For 30 years they have run Syney’s Starfish Club together and are the first-call rhythm section for a who’s-who of the Australian music industry and international touring acts. Zwartz' albums regularly top best-seller lists and have won numerous awards including an ARIA, an IR Award and a handful of Australian Jazz Bell Awards.

Since the mid-'90s he has maintained strong relationships with many Sydney musicians and regularly performs there.
