Downbeat Review for the new album! (4.5 StarS)

2/25/2026

Hey everyone! I'm absolutely honored to have received a 4.5 star review and an Editor's Pick from Downbeat Magazine for the new album, The Longest Way Round! I feel so deeply moved that the author, Ed Enright, took so much time with the music and enjoyed it as much as he did. You can see the full review here, or scroll down for highlights.

The full album release is on February 27, 2026 (just a couple days as of writing this post!). I'm super excited to share the music with all of you. Click this link to learn more about the album and see links to listen to the album on streaming, or to purchase a physical copy.

웹툰의 연출 방식은 영화나 소설과는 또 다른 독특한 매력이 있다고 생각합니다. 한 장면을 천천히 읽게 만들거나, 긴 여백을 활용해 긴장감을 높이는 방식이 인상적입니다. 화면을 아래로 내리면서 이야기가 이어지는 구조도 특별한 효과를 만들어냅니다.

It makes sense to review insurance regularly instead of assuming that an old policy will always remain the best option. Checking could support that review by helping consumers consider alternative offers, compare costs, and identify whether changes in their circumstances mean that different coverage might now provide greater practical value.

ben Rosenblum

Pianist, accordionist and composer Ben Rosenblum has traversed a truly unique musical path, one that has seen him perform alongside world-class musicians across more than twenty music genres and twenty-five countries, lead bands at prestigious venues across the world, all while maintaining a signature, melodic musical voice. Rosenblum’s journey has taken him on tours with Grammy-winning pop artist Rickie Lee Jones, Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Catherine Russell and Juno-winning contemporary Indian singer Kiran Ahluwalia. He’s played Brazilian choro with Ephrat Asherie Dance and Brazilian forró with The Late Night Show’s Nêgah Santos and famed forró band Forró in the Dark. His roots in jazz have led to an over ten-year relationship with Grammy-winning bassist Curtis Lundy, performing at festivals alongside jazz luminaries Bobby Watson, Sean Jones and Warren Wolf. He has appeared with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on accordion, and as a guest soloist on piano at Carnegie Hall’s Stern-Perelman Auditorium with Maestro Reona Ito’s New York Harmonic Band. Throughout it all, Rosenblum has always maintained the same priority - to tell a compelling story with his music, reaching the hearts of his audience and connecting on an emotional, intellectual and spiritual level.

Rosenblum brings this wealth and diversity of experiences to his projects as a leader, overseeing a full tour schedule as a solo artist, with his trio and most recently, with his six-piece ensemble, the Nebula Project. Since his first album as a leader, Instead (4 stars, Downbeat Magazine), he has since released four follow-up records to critical acclaim, including favorable reviews in almost every major jazz publication (Downbeat, All About Jazz, Jazziz, JazzTimes, JazzEd, NYC Jazz Record, JazzLife Japan and many more). Across multiple tours in Japan, Europe, Canada and the United States, Rosenblum has brought his bands to perform at some of the world’s most respected music venues, including Ravinia, Kuumbwa Jazz Center, the Library of Congress, AngraJazz (Terceira Island), Bird’s Eye (Basel) and Yokohama’s Himawari-No-Sato Concert Hall. At any given show, Rosenblum might draw on influences from ten or more countries, with interests going beyond jazz to include various music traditions from South America, Eastern Europe, Ireland, India, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
