Mike Baggetta

Baggetta was raised in Agawam, Massachusetts. He took up guitar at an early age and was inspired to explore Charles Mingus by Jeff Beck's cover of "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" on his album Wired. This led to albums by Miles Davis and John Coltrane which expanded Baggetta's sense of musical adventure. Baggetta attended Rutgers University where he received his Bachelor of Music degree and Master of Music degree in Jazz Studies.
