Ben Monder Trio
Flux
(SGL 1509-2)

New York guitarist plays three inward-looking solo pieces and is joined by Drew Gress (bass) and Jim Black (drums) in a trio that integrates 20th century classical influences (Bartok, Stravinsky, Carter) and some rock elements into jazz.

“His deeply personal musical vision, complete with staggering technique and rhythmic flexibility, allows him to... create music that is startlingly pure and uncompromising.”
—Rob Levit, The Nebula Music Magazine

***1/2 “Beautifully shaped and recorded, this is an absorbing trio record.”
—Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD (3rd Edition)
