Update on Progress

Hi everyone!  It's been a while since I have posted, so I just wanted to write an update about what has been happening in the past couple of months.

First, up until very recently, I have been playing every week with the incredible Curtis Lundy.  For those of you who don't know Curtis, you can learn more about him on his website here.  He is an amazing bass player who has played with so many jazz legends, and he has also been an extremely important mentor to me in my musical development.  It has been so much fun being able to play with him on such a regular basis.  I am not sure if the gig we have been playing together is going to continue in the future, but definitely check back in for further developments on my gigs with him.
Second, it has been a pleasure working with Ben Sutin's klezmer-jazz crossover project, Klazz-Ma-Tazz.  Our CD release event at Cornelia Street Cafe went amazingly well, and the event was reviewed favorably by RG Magazine.  To see the review, you can click here.  We are continuing to perform on a regular basis in the New York City area, including two upcoming gigs at the City Winery, and a couple of winter festival appearances to be announced, so definitely stop by!  If you would like to order a copy of our latest release, Tangibility, you can do so on Amazon or CD Baby.

Lastly, I am extremely excited to have been chosen as a semi-finalist at the American Jazz Pianist Competition in Melbourne, Florida!  This competition will take place from November 13-15.  For a complete schedule of events, visit their website.

Thanks for the continuing support, and I hope to see you at one of my upcoming gigs!  As always, for a complete list of upcoming events, visit the schedule tab above.

Many online counters allow users to label each counter according to their specific needs. For instance, in a school setting, each counter could represent attendance in different classes, while a factory might use them to track production numbers for different product lines.

    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.
