Chris Jentsch is a recording and performing artist and composer working primarily in jazz and contemporary improvisational forms. Listen.com: "Skilled NYC electric guitarist recalls Bill Frisell's more aggressive side, both in his use of effects (distortion, delay, volume pedal) and in his jarringly inserted open-string notes. His work in acoustic settings ranges from straight-ahead and boppish to intense and driving, without ever getting totally 'out.' As a composer, he has also written large ensemble pieces that fall in a Gil Evans/Maria Schneider vein." - (Style: Various Jazz Styles)
