Ben Monder is like the David Gilmour of jazz

[greveost]

So, Dave Gilmore is the Dave Gilmour of jazz?

Dave Gilmore is the Ace Frehley of funk

[Bbmaj7#5#9]

He creates minimalist spaces with strong tone and amazing feel

Expressionist and impressionist at the same time, two things that’s hard to find in one place. The track ”Oh, What A Beautiful Morning” on his album ”Amorphae” from 2015 was a real eyeopener for me.

I thought it was even more of a stretch when Segovia said he was the Joni Mitchell of Classical Guitar.

But I listened to some Monder and he is very creative , interesting on Guitar , Classical influence sometimes = different time feel.

I have tried these analogies too ( Mike Moreno - the Eric Johnson of Jazz, kinda ) so I get it.

A few years ago I saw a Video of Gilmour ( I think 'Live at Gdansk' ) and he was playing with an Orchestra and it's amazing what he gets from so few notes - he sounded like he was supposed to be there too ).Brilliant.

When Gilmour described himself as the Ben Monder of Rock I always wondered who that was ....
