Video and pictures from west coast tour

8/11/2017

Hi everyone!

I'm back from my West Coast with Kanoa Mendenhall and Ben Zweig and I had such an amazing time! Thanks to everyone who came to see us perform, and we hope to be back on the West Coast soon! For everyone on the East Coast, I wanted to share some video from the recent tour, as well as some photos from our adventures!

Above and below are videos from our recent show at the Back Room in Berkeley, CA on August 6th. A huge thanks to Sam Rudin for having us there, and to our wonderful audience. This is the first show that I live streamed on my Facebook page as well, and I am so happy that so many people were able to tune in and enjoy it. At the bottom of the post are a couple pictures from our down time hiking in Point Lobos and Big Sur (two of the most beautiful places I have ever been), as well as a couple photos from our performances. It was an absolute pleasure being on the West Coast this past week, and we hope to be back soon!

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.

Jazz is such a complicated genre to play. I am also a pianist, but I always find it difficult to play jazz. I don't know, but it is really difficult for me to even there is someone else teaching me how to do it. I got into jazz when I watched the movie "Lala Land". I was amazed at Ryan Gosling playing the piano and I really enjoyed whatever he played. I really hope I could find a teacher to teach me how to play jazz easier.
