Benito Gonzalez Trio — live event
Twotime GRAMMY Award nominated pianist and contemporary jazz master Benito Gonzalez combines a long lineage of American jazz traditions with rhythms from around the world. His sound is recognizable for the powerful rhythm section and Afro-Latin patterns he prioritizes across his projects, working with luminaries from across the spectrum of jazz. His critically acclaimed debut album, Starting Point, was recorded with Christian McBride, Antonio Sanchez, Rene McLean, and Ron Blake. Following the success of this album, he was widely celebrated as an exciting composer and pianist and was awarded the First Prize at the Great American Jazz Piano Competition shortly thereafter. Benito’s later record as a bandleader, Passion Reverence Transcendence, reveals a very personal body of work as he emerges as an accomplished improviser and leader in his own right. The record is an exhilarating tribute to the legendary McCoy Tyner, and is described as a beautifully played, unequivocal triumph of sound and spirit.
