Joe Battaglia   Guitarist/Composer/Educator             “Battaglia, with the rich clarity of his tone, combines improvisational imagination with precision. Working with various Jazz musicians and in numerous clubs in the New York and New Jersey area for over 20 years, Battaglia has recorded ample evidence of the command of his instrument, and the Battaglia/Messbauer/Davis trio has created a unified personalized sound all its own”.  Bill Donaldson (Cadence Magazine)
