Benny Benack III

"A charasmatic young trumpeter who maintains an earnest sideline as a singer..." - Nate Chinen - New York Times. 
 Whether it's soaring trumpet lines over a raucous rhythm section, acrobatic vocal scat solos, or a tender ballad on horn or singing, Benny Benack III is already an undeniably unique voice at only 29 years old. The rare artist capable of capturing an audience not only with daring technical virtuosity, but absolute melodicism and humanity as well. 
 Benny is recognized as much for his magnetic stage presence as his music, always inviting his audiences into the action with a genuine, warm and joyous disposition on stage. An artist who understands the balance between entertainer and serious presenter, and exposes his audiences to the full emotional gamut possible in one breathtaking set of music. 
 A young artist who isn't afraid to call his music "Jazz", Benack's compositions range from something that might come from the pen of Cole Porter, to Wayne Shorter and beyond. A stylist who has studied nearly every era of jazz's rich history, Benack is comfortable in any setting and the rare chameleon who fits into any musical setting.
