Home  Projects Projects Benny Reid -- Findings
|
Composer and saxophonist Benny Reid leads an incredible working band with Kenny Grohowski on drums, Richard Padron and Pablo Vergera on piano.
We've grown very strong as a unit through performances and tours across the US at venues including The Blue Note, The Kennedy Center, Smoke and The Jazz Standard. In July 2008, this band went into the studio to record Benny's second album for Concord Records.
Here is what I-Tunes has to say about Benny:
A fresh and potent new voice on the modern jazz scene, 26-year-old alto
saxophonist Benny Reid reveals a unique compositional vision along with
an abundance of chops on his auspicious debut as a leader. A collection
of six stirring suite-like compositions that unfold like richly
appointed short stories, Findings is a fully realized work of
remarkable depth and maturity that takes listeners on a musical journey
traversing a whole range of emotions within each individual piece. And
while the influence of Pat Metheny can be readily heard in the flowing
melodicism, dramatic crescendos and overall uplifting nature of these
half dozen tracks, Reid..s own approach here is highly personal.
