Benny Green

Benny Green: Solo PIanoThe art of constructing a solo recording is the ultimate challenge for most musicians. Pianist Benny Green believes that the challenge provides the ultimate inspiration, as he is free to take the music in whatever direction he chooses. For his first solo recording in twenty years, simply named Solo, Green finds himself reflecting on pieces by pianists who have inspired him over the decades.Over his career, Green has solidified himself as one of jazz musics premier piano stylists. His command of the bebop, post-bop, and swing styles was harnessed and cemented through years of study and apprenticeship alongside the musics best, including jazz masters Walter Bishop, Jr., Oscar Peterson, and Art Blakey, with whom he played as a member of the legendary Jazz Messengers. When you say hes got it all, youve said it all. That is the most concise summation of the genius of pianist Benny Green. - Leonard Feather for the Los Angeles TimesIf you have any special needs/requirements, please call the box office at 617-562-4111.All tickets, and pre-show reception purchases are non-refundable.
