BENNY AMÓN'S NEW ORLEANS PEARLS QUINTET:
Benny Amón’s relatively young career in jazz has established him as a prominent early jazz drummer. Currently splitting his time between his native Bay Area & his adopted long term home of New Orleans, Benny continues to pursue opportunities to perform, teach, and record with world class musicians. Benny Amón's New Orleans Quintet is inspired by the lineage of New Orleans jazz from Sidney Bechet’s Big 4 through the more modern swing trio of Ahmad Jamal.
