LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Ben Rosenblum Jazz Trio, led by an award-winning Juilliard-trained jazz pianist, is slated to perform at the Soper Reese Theatre at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 17.
This young, yet accomplished, group is currently on a West Coast tour, playing to sold out houses.
Tickets are now on sale for $15 each, the perfect idea for sharing Father’s Day with that special guy.
Ben Rosenblum, pianist, accordionist and composer, has been described as an “impressive talent” by All About Jazz.
He won the ASCAP Young Jazz Composers Award and two Downbeat Student Music Awards for composition and arrangement.
He also was a finalist at the 2015 American Jazz Pianist Competition in Melbourne, Florida and at the 2016 Jazz Piano Competition in Jacksonville, Florida.
Playing with Rosenblum is rising Bay Area star Kanoa Mendenhall on bass.
Mendenhall was born in Yokohama, Japan. Raised by two pianists, she started playing jazz cello at age 10 and upright bass at age 12. By age 13, she was regularly performing in the Monterey and San Francisco Bay areas.
Now 19, Mendenhall resides in New York City, where she has participated in the Columbia University-Juilliard School of Music exchange program.
Drummer Ben Zweig is a highly regarded New York City drummer. A recipient of the New Jersey Governor’s Award in Jazz Excellence, Zweig began playing with seasoned New York City and international jazz greats upon moving to Harlem five years ago. Most recently, Zweig toured the American South with singer and pianist, Champian Fulton.
