The Longest Way Round - New Album To Be Released In 2026!

12/26/2025

Hi everyone!

Wow - it's been an absolutely wonderful year of touring, performing, recording and composing. I'm so grateful to the amazing bandleaders who have taken me on the road, and to my incredible band members who have joined me on my adventures. Thank you all so much, and looking forward to many more travels in 2026.

To end 2025 on a high note, I wanted to officially announce that my next Nebula Project album, The Longest Way Round, will be released in February 2026! I can’t wait to share this music! It will be my first album that is entirely my original compositions, including a three-part suite, and it features all the regular members of the band in addition to the amazing Gustavo Di Dalva and Brad Dutz on auxiliary percussion. You can read more about it on my website's dedicated page to the album. I'll also be updating this link with reviews, links to streaming and purchase and more.

The official release date is February 27, 2026. The day before, we'll be doing our CD release party at Smalls in New York City, and we have performances with the Nebula Project already on the schedule in Miami and Philadelphia in the next few months - check my schedule page for links. We're hoping to do a lot more with the Nebula Project in 2026-2027 so stay tuned for the latest!

Here's the first single from the album, which was released last week. Hope you enjoy!

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.
