"Mike is one of the best young improvisors on the NY scene!" - Vic Juris, Jazz Guitarist

"...his melodic sense is truly beautiful." - Tom Chandler, Jazzreview.com

"Guitarist/composer Baggetta is one of those subtle players. He does not overwhelm you with volume or seek to impress with fleet-fingered improvisations. Instead, each piece he performs creates new worlds of possibilities...utilizing approaches from many different genres but never sounding derivative of any one person or school." - Richard Kamins, The Hartford Courant

"Blessed with a refined approach and solid technique...Mike Baggetta has the potential to break the mold of post-John Scofield plectrists." - Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide

THANKS for reading - hope to see you there...
