LIVE JAZZ - From NYC, The BENNY BENACK Quartet
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Black Cat
(see times)
Hailed by the New York Times as “a charismatic young trumpeter who maintains an earnest sideline as a singer”, 27 year old Pittsburgh-born and New York-based Benny Benack has quickly established himself as one of the most versatile and virtuosic voices of his generation. Benack has a gift for delighting and engaging audiences with panache and boundless energy, in the spirit of classic crooners like Sinatra and Mel Tormé, with a nod to legendary trumpet showmen Louis Armstrong and Dizzy Gillespie.
Benny has worked with many music greats, touring domestically as a trumpet soloist with Josh Groban, Ben Folds and fashion icon Isaac Mizrahi, as well as European engagements with jazz bass extraordinaire Christian McBride. He recently headlined Birdland Jazz Club in NYC alongside cabaret legend Ann Hampton-Callaway, in tribute to “Louis & Ella.” He has been a guest artist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Pops Orchestra, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, The Minsk Philharmonic Orchestra, featured as both a vocalist and a trumpeter with each ensemble.
In the fall of 2017 Benack released his debut album “One of a Kind” to critical acclaim, noting “he reels off songs that come alive with his lustrous trumpet and golden bari-tenor vocalastics.” World Music Report. On the heels of his album’s worldwide success, Benack maintains an active touring schedule internationally, most recently bringing his band to Shanghai on behalf of Jazz @ Lincoln Center, part of the opening celebration for their new flagship club there. When at home in NYC, he can be found in residency both at Mezzrow Jazz Club in the West Village, and at the iconic Carlyle Hotel, performing in the storied Bemelman’s Bar.
The BENNY BENACK III Quartet:
Benny Benack - trumpet, vocals, keys
Keelan Dimick - piano (APA National Piano finalist)
Joe Peri - drums (part of Lady Gaga’s band & performs with Tony Bennett)
Raviv Markovitz - bass
