Ben is the monster! He also seems to be quite a big guy. Kurt Rosenwinkel told on his homepage that Ben has really big hands, and that he saw him complete chords with his nose :) I just got his record "Oceana" and it IS THE SICKEST record Ive ever heard. If you think this is intense, then you have heard nothing of what he is capabable of. Search for Ben Monder interview and Abstact Logix on google. There can you listen to clips from "Oceana", and read his comments on them as well.
As always a very sophisticated solo guitar playing. A musician this scale does not have to play at Maria Schneider's band. It is my humble but honest opinion
I love this Arrangement! Real nice feel! love the guitars players phrasing! The singer is an amazing talent as well!

Nice,although a bit too 'ethereal' for my taste but technically,great.
For me,I'm more of a 'grits n' gravy' guy.
If it makes me tap my foot (without having to count bar lines) and it's got a feeling for the blues,then all is right with the world.

I'm positive that you'd find a rather long list of great musicians that would love to play in Maria Schneider's band.

Indeed one of the coolest guitarists around! I also love Maria Schneider though, she's an amazing composer...

who would turn down a maria schneider gig? Yes as always a musical visoionary. He is so good at building such a "firey pit of hip" during his solos.

I'm sure Ben would say it's a priveledge to play with Maria. It's not a competition.
