“...so virtuosic and inventive a pair...the two share a subtle discipline that results in a focused, cohesive whole... Rarely have such individual musicians sounded so single-minded.” Shaun Brady, Downbeat
Since the 1990s, vocalist Theo Bleckmann & guitarist Ben Monder have been touring the U.S., Europe and Asia as a duo, creating a unique approach to what might be called “jazz art song”, blurring the boundaries between jazz, classical, ambient and rock.
Theo Bleckmann is “a vocalist of inventive instinct and assiduous musicality,” wrote Nate Chinen in the NY Times. A jazz singer and new music composer of eclectic tastes and prodigious gifts, the Grammy nominee makes music that is accessibly sophisticated, unsentimentally emotional, and seriously playful, leading his work to be described as “from another planet” (New York Times), as “magical, futuristic,” (AllAboutJazz), “limitless” (Citypaper, Philadelphia) “transcendent” (Village Voice) and “brilliant” (New York Magazine)....
