Info for Familiar Places



Mike Bono’s name may be unfamiliar, but now I realise that, unknowingly, I’ve already heard his guitar playing on recordings by Erykah Badu, Julian Lage and Michael Blume. His 2019 album Visitors with pianist Christian Li was well received, but there’s so much new music you just can’t hear everything!

"Familiar Places is a lovely album to warm up a grey Winter’s day. For guitar fans it is recommended listening. For guitar players, it’s inspiring." (Adam Sieff, londonjazznews.com)

“He is an accomplished improviser with outstanding technical facility and I find him to be well on his way to establishing his own voice as an improviser.” (Rick Peckham)

“Mike Bono is one of the most promising young guitarists I have come across. He has formidable skills, maturity, and a great imagination.” (Ben Monder)
