Benny Benack III Quartet
In the organizer's words:
Trumpeter and singer Benny Benack III is one of the defining figures of contemporary jazz. In the prestigious Down Beat Readers Poll, he was voted number one in the “Rising Star Vocal” category and ranked among the top ten in the “Rising Star Trumpet” category. The GRAMMY©-nominated New York artist combines virtuoso modern jazz with the stylish elegance of classic crooners, creating a distinctive musical style. Alongside Christian McBride, Emmet Cohen, and Veronica Swift, he captivates audiences with his own compositions as well as with sophisticated reinterpretations of great jazz standards. Benack is accompanied by an excellent rhythm section featuring Jerry Lu, Stefan Rey, and Frederik Villmow—three renowned musicians who have long been among the leading figures of the European jazz scene.
