2022 Update!

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I posted an update, but I have a lot of exciting projects in the works so I just wanted to make a quick post with some upcoming news and photos.

Firstly, I have a new Nebula Project album coming out later this year! I had so much fun with the sextet on my most recent album, Kites and Strings, that I went back and recorded another one this past summer. The new album will be almost exclusively original compositions (in addition to one Jobim tune), and features an expanded septet format featuring special guest Xavier Del Castillo on tenor sax, in addition to our core band of Wayne Tucker on trumpet, Jasper Dutz on alto sax and bass clarinet, Rafael Rosa on guitar, Marty Jaffe on bass and Ben Zweig on drums. Looking forward to sharing more info about the release soon! I'm so excited about this project - The Nebula Project was recently voted runner up on JazzTimes' Readers Poll in 2020, and recently we've been able to begin touring. We just came back from a multi-day trip in the Northeast this past weekend and we have more in the works.

With the trio, I've also been getting back to a full-time touring schedule. We did multi-week tours in the South and West Coast in 2022, and I made it over to Europe late last year to do some playing as well. Over the summer, I'll be doing a Northeast US and Canada tour with the amazing singer Laura Anglade, and beginning in the Fall I have a number of tours in the works with both the trio and the sextet. I've also been fortunate to participate in some new groups as a sideman in the past year, including the incredible Ephrat Asherie and her dance company as well as Juno award-winning Indian vocalist Kiran Ahluwalia, in addition to the many beautiful groups I've been playing with for years. As always you can visit my schedule page for the latest updates on where I'll be when.

    ben Rosenblum

    Award-winning New York City jazz pianist and accordionist Ben Rosenblum has been described as “mature beyond his years,” (Sea of Tranquility), an “impressive talent” (All About Jazz), who “caresses [the music] with the reverence it merits” (Downbeat Magazine). Since the release of his debut trio album, Instead (4 stars, Downbeat), Rosenblum has toured extensively with his trio and sextet throughout the United States, including multiple trips to the Northeast, Midwest, South and West Coast, and internationally  in Canada, Europe and Japan. He was a featured soloist at Carnegie Hall's Stern-Perelman Auditorium (with Reona Ito's New York Harmonic Band) and has appeared at prestigious venues throughout the world, including at the Appel Room at Lincoln Center, Kuumbwa Jazz Center, Ravinia, Himawari-No-Sato Concert Hall in Yokohama, Bird's Eye in  Basel and the Library of Congress. Rosenblum's second trio album in 2018, River City, was called “richly romantic” and “well-realized” by JAZZIZ Magazine, which featured the title track as part of their Best of Fall 2018 CD. Most recently, Rosenblum released his third album, Kites and Strings, which is the first to feature him on both piano and accordion alongside his new sextet, the Nebula Project. In 2020, the Nebula Project was voted runner-up for Best New Artist in JazzTimes' Readers' Poll. Rosenblum has been privileged to share the stage with many highly acclaimed jazz musicians, including extensive work with Curtis Lundy, Winard Harper, Deborah Davis and Chris Washburne, as well as appearances with Bobby Watson, Sean Jones, TS Monk, Warren Wolf, Eliot Zigmund, and many others. Rosenblum's musical interests also extend beyond jazz to include work in numerous world music scenes, including musical styles from Brazil, Peru, Croatia, Bulgaria, India, Ireland, Jewish traditions and more.
