Toronto Jazz Guitarist Chris Monson Plugs Neon Jazz

Seldom in the Well is Chris Monson’s debut album – a sometimes meditative, sometimes explosive exploration of disparate jazz genres. Monson’s nine original compositions and arrangements seamlessly meld an iconic 60’s vibe with decisively contemporary sensibilities, resulting in a strikingly fresh and unique album. The material weaves between many touchstones – at times reminiscent of Chick Corea and Allan Holdsworth, and other times bringing to mind a sense of space and depth heard in classical composers such as Bernard Herrmann, all of which is underpinned by Monson’s early roots as a prog-rock guitarist.
