About
“...comparisons will be made to Bill Frisell and Ralph Towner, but that's certainly not all there is to Baggetta. While he shares some stylistic elements and sense of space with both, he goes his own way more often than not.” - Jeff Wanser, JazzReview.com
"There are plenty of guitarists with chops but few whose fingers can write and paint pictures this musically." - Mark F. Turner, All About Jazz
"Mike is one of the best young improvisors on the NY scene!" - Vic Juris, Jazz Guitarist
With two albums released on the Fresh Sound New Talent label, the Mike Baggetta Quartet displays an intense focus on group interaction, fearless improvisation and a too-seldom-heard patience in their interpretation of each song. Drawing inspiration from sources as varied as Ornette Coleman, Neil Young, Edward Hopper and Keith Jarrett's "American Quartet", this is truly new music full of original voices and beautifully heartfelt performances....
