Bio:  Hailed as "one of the best and brightest of the new generation" and "a current master" with "a wonderfully fresh approach to the guitar", guitarist and composer Mike Rood recently released his tour de force debut album of original music, The Desert and the City, to international critical acclaim. Since 2008, his group, The Mike Rood Communion, has been performing avidly around the globe at such venues as New York's Iridium Jazz Club and the Bern Jazz Festival in Switzerland. The group has been defying and defining genres, pushing the envelope in musical expression and technical sophistication, featuring musicians such as John Patitucci, Rogerio Boccato, Colin Stranahan, Mike Bjella, Chris Tordini, Goh Izawa, Tommy Crane, Alex Spradling, Glenn Zaleski, Arthur Hnatek, Peter Schlamb, and Kyle Wilson. A New York City native, Rood was born into a family of classical musicians, and began piano studies at a young age. While continuing his classical training, Rood taught himself guitar during his early teens. He recently received a Bachelor's Degree from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City, and currently is a music faculty member at New York University.
