Update on the last six months

3/5/2015

Hi everyone!

It's been a while since I posted anything, so I just wanted to fill everyone in on what's been happening. I've been super busy with a whole bunch of musical projects. Last semester was my first semester at Juilliard, and I've been having a blast playing with the amazing musicians there, and studying with Frank Kimbrough. Last semester we played a concert of mostly bebop music, and this semester we are putting on a show featuring the music of Jelly Roll Morton, which is very exciting for me. That show will be on April 13th at Paul Hall, and tickets are free, so definitely get tickets now if you want to come!

I've also been playing with some great musicians at Columbia University, where I also attend. This past semester was the first semester of the Jazz House at Columbia University, something I started at Columbia to bring more jazz to the Columbia community, and it has been a great experience. In addition to a number of other concerts, in November, we hosted our first guest artist when legendary alto saxophonist Jerry Dodgion came to play with us. For those of you who do not know Mr. Dodgion's music, he was the lead alto saxophonist in the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra for a long time, and has played with more jazz luminaries than could be listed here. It was a real privilege to play with him, and I can't wait to see who we bring in this semester.

There's been a lot of great music in the works outside of school as well! I will post again when some of these projects come to fruition, but in the meantime, check out the show schedule to the right, and on the "Schedule" tab. I hope to see some of you at one of my upcoming shows!

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.

In my perspective, to form a discourse you have to have innovative contemplations, abilities of composing, energy, and soul for screenwriting. I respect you for the help which you give to the individuals by composing these significant hints. Keep it up with the great work.
