Mike Baggetta has produced a number of quality recordings over the years yet Spectre may be his most compelling project to date.

Ben Monder: Amorphae
by Mario Calvitti
Ben Monder è un chitarrista difficile da catalogare, per via di uno stile che concede poco o nulla alla tradizione, e una ricerca su suoni e timbri che, pur se talvolta lo avvicina a Bill Frisell, è portata avanti in una maniera personale e originale che lo distingue da altri sperimentatori come David Torn. Il suo ...

Ben Monder: Amorphae
by John Kelman
Having made his first--and, up to now, only--appearance on Munich's lauded ECM Records on the late drummer Paul Motian's Garden of Eden (2006), it's certainly taken a long time for the virtuosically talented guitarist to get a date of his own. Monder's résumé--while filled with significant associations including, in addition to Motian, composer/bandleader Maria Schneider, double ...
Ben Monder: Amorphae
by Mark Sullivan
Veteran guitarist Ben Monder is at his most experimental and atmospheric in this collection of largely improvised performances, his sixth album as a leader, and his first for ECM.
