Ben Rosenblum Nebula Project at AngraJazz 2024! And Other Recent Highlights!

10/10/2024

Hi everyone! I just got back from an amazing trip to Terceira Island in the Azores, where my large ensemble, the Ben Rosenblum Nebula Project, was a headlining artist at AngraJazz 2024! It was an absolutely magical couple of days, and I wanted to share a few photos from the event below. The local TV station, RTP Açores, also did a great feature on the band, featuring footage from the concert and an interview with me. You can view that on their Facebook page here, or on their website here. (Bottom right two photos courtesy of Rui Caria).

It's been a while since my last update post, but I'm happy to report that I've been as busy as I can ever remember! I recently updated my about page to reflect some recent developments, including a number of tours in 2023 and 2024 with one of my childhood heroes, Rickie Lee Jones! I've been very fortunate to join for concerts across the United States, as well as two tours in Europe and one tour in Australia. The photos below are from our performance at Prospect Park Bandshell in 2023 (courtesy of Vivian Wang, @lithophyte).

I've also recently added a shop to my website where you can purchase CDs and merchandise directly from me, and a partial list of the albums that I've played on under "discography." We've recorded the next Nebula Project album, so stay tuned for more information about the release in 2025.

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.
