Hi everyone!  After an amazing trip to California performing in Monique Witt's play, Split/screen, I'm back in New York City.  We received some great feedback on the play while we were out there, and we were very excited to have been picked as one of the "Pick of the Fringe" plays, as well as one of laist.com's "Four interesting plays to check out at the Fringe Festival" (link).  Here's hoping that we will get the opportunity to put on the play again sometime in the near future!
A few exciting gigs to announce coming up through the rest of the summer.  First, every Friday night since the beginning of May, I have been playing a weekly gig with the extraordinary Curtis Lundy at a nice restaurant called Orama in Edgewater, New Jersey.  Curtis is a Grammy-nominated bass player who has played with just about everyone (for more about Curtis, visit his website here), and it has been an incredible privilege to play with him on a regular basis.  The band is extremely talented, so if you are in the area, definitely stop by.

In addition, on August 6th, I will be playing with Ray Lugo and the Boogaloo Destroyers as part of Lincoln Center's Out of Doors series.  It is always exciting for me to play different genres of music, and it will be a blast to be at Lincoln Center performing in the beautiful Damrosch Park.  Finally, throughout the rest of the summer and continuing into the Fall, I will be playing a number of gigs with the Indian fusion guitarist Noshir Mody and his sextet.  This includes an engagement at the hip Brooklyn venue Shapeshifter Lab as well as an appearance at Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.  For a full list of performances, see the Schedule tab at the top of the website.

    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.
