Benny Benack III: The Working Artist Project Short

Details

Description

In this episode of The Working Artist Project, Darrian Douglas and Gregory Agid talk to Benny Benack III about his brand new album! By age 30, trumpeter and singer Benny Benack III has proven to be that rarest of talents: not only a fiery trumpet player with a stirring command of the postbop trumpet vernacular in the vein of Kenny Dorham and Freddie Hubbard but also a singer with a sly, mature, naturally expressive delivery in the post-Sinatra mold, performing standards and his astute songs with a thrilling sense of showmanship. His superb intonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to handle astounding feats of originally composed vocalese (complex solos with written lyrics). On top of it all, he’s a highly capable pianist as well. #Podcast #theworkingartistproject #neworleans #musiceducation #newyork #marketing #branding #business
